    You can enter cash contributions in TurboTax.  How do I enter my 2024 charitable donations in TurboTax?

     

    The written acknowledgment required to substantiate a charitable contribution of $250 or more must contain the following information:

     

    • name of the organization;
    • amount of cash contribution;
    • description (but not value) of non-cash contribution;
    • statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization, if that is the case;
    • description and good faith estimate of the value of goods or services, if any, that organization provided in return for the contribution; and
    • statement that goods or services, if any, that the organization provided in return for the contribution consisted entirely of intangible religious benefits, if that was the case.

    In addition, a donor may claim a deduction for contributions of cash, check, or other monetary gifts only if the donor maintains certain written records.   If you are asking about something else, please reply!
