To enter charitable contributions:

- Click My Account (top right of your screen).
- Select Tools.
- In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
- In the search bar, type donations.
- In the results box, highlight donations, then click GO.
- You'll land on the Donations to Charity page. Click Yes.
- Follow the onscreen instructions. During the interview, you'll be able to indicate the name of the charity, then enter your cash donation. (Click the screenshots below for examples.)
Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.
