If you using the election to take a charitable deduction of up to $300, on top of using the standard deduction, you cannot enter this through the Itemized Deductions screens.
Please follow the steps below to enter your charitable contribution in the correct place in TurboTax :

The Cares Act allows people who take the Standard Deduction to take an additional un-itemized deduction for up to $300 of donations to qualified charities. This doesn't come up in the regular interview process (BAD, TurboTax!!), but here's an easy work around. Go to the top left of screen and click on Forms. Scroll down to the 1040 worksheet (1040/1040SR Wks) and click on it. On the worksheet scroll down to line 10 b and enter the amount of your contribution. The information will be entered on your return. To get back to your return go to the upper left corner again and click on EasyStep.
