I've entered all my cash contributions but the total amount which is on Schedule A is shaded in pink indicating, I guess, that something is still missing. But what?

We are itemizing as our total deductions exceed the minimum standard deduction.

Go through the interview to enter your charitable donations. If you are trying to enter directly on Schedule A, you are probably getting an error due to a missing charity profile (TurboTax needs to know information about the organization you gave cash to).

In the search box, search for donations and use the Jump to donations link to go through the interview and enter the details of all of your donations, cash or property. TurboTax will put all the information on Schedule A and calculate your deduction.

Can I deduct donations to charity?

I used the step-by-step method to enter all donations, including a couple of in-kind donations and some mileage. The total on Sch A is still pink.

You are in TurboTax Desktop. Go to Forms and select Schedule A.

Right-click one of the pink entries and select Data Source.

A box will appear that tells you the source of the entry.

Even if there are no error messages, it will tell you the source of the entry. That is where you go to review, correct or delete and re-enter the data.
