In the donation section, do we include donations from all family members - or just the tax filer?

Just what you (and your spouse if a joint return) donated. You cannot deduct what someone else donated.

Thanks. What if if was my children who donated? I am claiming for them. They are not filing their own taxes.

They would have to file their own returns and itemize - not likely to result in a deduction unless they had a huge income and a huge donation.
