Charitable Deduction in addition to standard deduction

[morganm50]

I've read for 2025 tax year filed in 2026, you can deduct a portion of the charitable contributions (Cash) in addition to receiving the standard deduction.  When I entered my charitable contributions into Turbo Tax, it says (your standard deduction covers the charitable contribution).  I thought charitable deductions COULD be included this year.  Don't seem that Turbo Tax recognized this additional deduction.  Am I doing something wrong?

The option to enter a cash donation to charity even if your are taking the Standard Deduction is effective when filing a tax year 2026 return, next year in 2027.  It is not available when filing the 2025 tax return this year.
