Charitable deduction doesn't lower MAGI for 2021

why doesn't the charitable deduction come off for the 2021 magi? It did so on 2020 form.

The charitable deduction is placed on a different line with respect to your AGI in 2021 when compared with 2020 so AGI is affected differently. Compare the two 1040’s.

I see that on the 2 forms, so asking did tax law change that it doesn't come off now for the adjusted gross income?

Exactly, tax law changed how the donation affects AGI.
