Information flows from the federal return to the state return. Add them in the federal and the software will take them to the state return. You do not mention your state, so we do not know if charity donations have any effect on your state refund or tax due.
Federal>Deductions and Credits>Charitable Donations>Donations to Charity
You enter the charitable contributions in the federal return even if your federal itemized deductions are less than your standard deduction. They will not be used in the federal return, but will still flow to the state return if applicable.
If you have further questions, be sure to tell us what state you are filing in.
Thanks so much, I’m in California.
I believe California allows you to claim itemized deductions on the state return even though you claim the standard deduction on the federal return. So it should work as we described above.
