I donated a car to charity. I have 1098C. The FMV is under 5k. I can't get turbo tax to give me a deduction. I have tried everything I see in the community help.

The charity is using the car as in significant intervening use.  The program keeps telling me the 1098 value is zero.  But there isn't even a place for value on the 1098.
