Charity Donations Cash

[user17715334666]

I understand that for 2026 we can deduct up to 1,000 in Cash Donations even if I dont itimized.

When I enter the cash donations in Turbo Tax is telling me that it is better to take the standard deduction and not using my cash contribution.

Is there a different place where I should enter this charitable cash donations?

You can do that on next year's tax return for 2026.   This is the 2025 tax return you are preparing now, so that deduction is not available yet.
