I am using the freedom edition and I can't see a place to enter charitable deductions when taking the standard deduction. Can anyone tell me where to do that?

The ability to deduct up to $300 ($600 if married filing jointly) of charitable donations, even if you take the standard deduction, was temporary. Congress chose not to renew it for 2022, so you can only claim your charitable donations as part of itemized deductions for 2022 and beyond.
