Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for the reply, but I already tried this and it doesn't work.  On the "itemized deductions, choosing" screen, TurboTax is choosing itemized deductions.  But when I get to the Federal Review section and click the "explain why" I'm getting my current estimated refund, it suddenly says I'm choosing the standard deduction.  The estimated refund at the top of the screen is also consistent with the standard deduction, and not the increased refund estimate it gave me at the previous screen where I chose itemized deductions.

 

Again, I assume this is a result of accidentally putting in the $300 charitable deduction amount for standard deduction filers.  But I can't figure out any way to change this, unless there's some way to do it at the very end of the process right before filing the return (which I haven't gotten to yet).
