Tried twice to efile and both times files are rejected for 'TotalAdjustmentsToIncomeAmt' not equal to TotalAdjustmentsAmt' plus (+) 'CharitableContributionAmt". First, I elected to use itemized deductions, not the standard. On 1040 lines 10a, b & c is where the problem arises. Sched 1 line 22 is "0," so 10a should be "0' -- and it is. 1040 line 10b is also "0" which it should be given the election to use itemized deductions. Therefore, line 10c should be "0" and it is NOT. It has a value that is equal to the non-cash charitable deductions!! How did this happen?? 1040 line 12 does have the correct total itemized deductions from Sched. A line 17 and Sched A line 18 has the box checked for the itemized deductions election. As I see it, the problem is 1040 line 10c is not being computed correctly. And the erroneous line 10c entry cannot be edited manually to fix the problem. Also, the quick zoom links help with this. The QZ for line 10a gets to the correct Schedule 1 line (#22) and it's "0" value (actually just blank). Since itemized deductions are elected, there is no QZ for line 10b. And 10b is also "0" or blank. Of course line 10c won't have a QZ either as it's an arithmetic box (add lines 10a and 10b). I can't figure out why 10c then has the non-cash charitable contributions value????
Part of the problem may lie in that I switched from standard to itemized deduction election to see how those options changed my total tax liability, including State.
Any ideas??? TIA for any and all help with a solution. -- osborsr
