Your links refer to a 2021 filing season problem when you could claim an above the live charitable contribution. Not relevent to 2022 since the $300 deduction wasn't extended past 2021. For 2022 and beyond, the only way to write off gifts to charity is to itemize. The charitable contributions I have entered are ignored for Fed (because I claim the standard deduction) but should automatically be included in the California adjustments, Why not?????
