    If you are using standard deduction then those donations will have no effect on your federal tax due or refund.   State laws vary, so you could enter them if you think it might matter for your state.

     

     

    The following states allow you to itemize deductions on just the state return: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Wisconsin,
