    Go to Federal>Deductions & Credits> Charitable Donations>Donations to Charity in 2020

    There will be a screen to enter the mileage you drove with your therapy dog.

    Charity donations, including mileage are only itemized deductions.  If you use the standard deduction, you will, most likely,  see no benefit from entering your mileage. 

     

    Mileage is not eligible for the $300 "above the line" deduction for cash donations.
