How do I enter a contribution made to a donor advised fund account https://www.schwabcharitable.org/donor-advised-funds (turbo tax requires entering a specific charity)

Turbotax tool requires entering a specific charity but contribution to DAF is deductible even if not donated within the tax year

You deduct as a charitable donation what you donated to the DAF in the year you donated it if you itemize.  Any charitable distribution from the Fund itself is not deductible by you.

Yes, thanks. I understand that part. 

My question is in the turbotax tool when it asks for "name of the charity" is it ok to put Schwab Charitable account? or how should I enter this contribution into the turbotax software

[Bsch4477]

If you donated to Schwab Charitable account in 2022 that is what you report in TurboTax.

And is the correct thing to do to enter "Schwab Charitable account" in the text field where it asks for charity name? 

[Bsch4477]

Yes.

 As advised @DaveF1006, you would follow the steps below:

1. Open TurboTax.
2. Federal > Deductions & Credits > Charitable Donations > Donations to Charity in 2022.
3. Start or Revisit.
4. On the screen, "Donations," select "Yes."

   5.  On the next screen, enter the name of the Charity and select "Add" next to Stock.

1. Continue. Answer the questions regarding your "donor advised stock.

Probably "Schwab Charitable Fund" is a more accurate name for the charity itself. 

You are giving to that charity...even if you have an account within the fund.
