Question

We get to deduct $300 for charitable contributions even if we use the standard deduction. Why doesn't my refund increase by even a little bit when I enter the deduction?

Have you completed adding your charitable contributions equal or greater than the $300? Are you taking the standard deduction, or is that yet to be determined? Look at lines 10a and 10b on your 1040 to see if the $300 has yet carried over to line 10c. If it hasn't it's likely because the program has yet to determine that you're using the standard deduction.
