I have followed that path but do not see where it then lists Non-Cash Charitable Contributions. Where is that, please?

You do not see a choice of "Items"? when you go to the screen that says "Let's enter your donations one at a time?"

I do see where you enter donations one at a time but not for non-cash donations/contributions. I have an charity I have provided cash donations and have recorded them there, but since I have a non-cash contribution to the same charity I thought I could find the non-cash contribution area there, but don't see any place to include the non-cash contribution. Suggestions / recommendations / directions to where to find that?

My previous response was: "

I still need an answer to the above, where exactly to input NON-CASH contributions, please.

All donations are entered into the same section of TurboTax.  You will simply add another donation based on the type of donation.

 

Use the steps below to enter another charity or donation and see the image below.  Keep in mind that if your noncash donations are more than $500, you will need to complete Form 8283.

TurboTax will guide you. The instructions are for TurboTax Online.  The link will also provide instructions for TurboTax Desktop which are very similar.

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Use the Jump to link to go directly to the Donations to Charity section in TurboTax.
  3. Select the Yes button to answer the question: Did you make any donations to charity in 2023?
  4. If you have an account with ItsDeductible, select Yes to begin the process of importing your donation information;
  5. If you select No, continue to the next step.
  6. On the Donations screen, answer Yes to the question: Do you want to enter your donations for 2023?
  7. Fill out your donations on the, Let’s enter your donations one at a time screen .
  8. Once all your donations have been entered, select the button for Done on the Review All Your Charities screen.

If you already have a cash donation entered, the screen below will show you how to select 'Add another charity'.

"Items" are non-cash...or describe exactly what the non-cash is that you are referring to.

 

When you start a new Donation, here's your choices:  ( on Desktop software...Online should be similar)
