How do I enter a charitable donation of vacant land?

We donated property to Habitat for Humanity.  Property was vacant land that I received as a gift from my parents more than a decade earlier.  Recognized fair market value of the donation is $2,140.  We have a HUD-1 and donation receipt from Habitat for Humanity.  How do I enter this charitable donation in TurboTax?

This feature is pending. Thanks for your patience.

You enter it as non-cash charitable contribution.  To do so in TurboTax, while in your return:

  • Click on "Personal" tab (Home & Business Version) or Federal Taxes in others
  • Click on Deductions & Credits
  • Click on "I'll choose what I work on"
  • Scroll down to "Charitable Donations"
  • Select "Donations to Charity in 2018"

  • Indicate "I'll Value Them"
  • Enter the details of your land donation
  • For "Choose a category for this donation" Indicate "Real Property -not conservation property"
