Unfortunately, there isn't a way to have one particular Category automatically be considered Tax-deductible, at least not in a way where the existing Tax-deductible field is activated. But, if you find you need to go back and mark an entry as Tax-deductible later, you can have the item selected, then go to the Entry menu and use the Mark > As Tax-deductible option.
Also, at this time, individual split line items aren't able to considered Tax-deductible while other line items need to be considered Taxable. But, we're looking at including an option for dealing with that sort of situation in a future version. The same goes for automatically applying Tax-deductible status to an entry whenever a specific To/From item (Payee/Payer) is re-used—that's an option that's not available now, but could make it into a later update.
For now, considering your situation, it may be best to simply setup Tax-deductible as its own Category, and track Tax-deductible status, this way. So, for any item you might categorize as simply "Donation", for example, you'd categorize as "Tax-deductible:Donation", instead—you'd easily be able to see a subtotal for all Tax-deductible items, including individual split lines, while still being able to see a separate Donation subtotal, if needed. This would also make it where "Tax-deductible:Donation" auto-fills the Category field whenever you reuse a To/From item linked with that Category designation.
