    Can I file for a donation contribution made in 2005 and 2006 (if they were not previously claimed) in 2008?

    No, they must be claimed in the year you made it. So to claim in 2005 or 2006 you must file amended tax return.

    Also note that contribution is itemized deduction. You will itemize only when your itemized deductions are more than your standard deduction.
