Standard deduction and Charitable Donation (Tax Year 2021)

[johnandlyndavk]

How do I verify that TT has credited me with the $600 charitable deduction when I am taking the standard deduction?

Look at your tax return Form 1040 Line 12b.  If there is an amount entered on that line then the cash charitable donation was entered and is added to your Standard Deduction.
