Go to Search (top right), then type the exact phrase 'charitable donation ' into Ask your question or search TurboTax. Jump to charitable donation from the results.  

TurboTax asks 'Did you make any donations to charity?' answer yes, continue to Review All Your Charities and enter your contributions.

The amount you can deduct for charitable contributions generally is limited to 50% of your adjusted gross income. Your deduction may be further limited to 30% or 20% of your adjusted gross income, depending on the type of property you give and the type of organization you give it to. You have to itemize deductions on Schedule A in order to 'count' your charitable contribution.
