Get your taxes done using TurboTax
One thing to keep in mind....
How much is your schedule A itemized deductions? How much is on 1040 line 12? Maybe the Standard Deduction plus the extra $300 for Charity on line 10b is more than your itemized deductions.
If you are using the Desktop program you can switch to Forms and open schedule A to check it.
For Online,
If it's giving you the Standard Deduction and not showing you Schedule A you can check the actual amount of itemized deductions by using by going to
Tax Tools on left
Tools - Topic Search (top left box)
Type in itemized deductions, choosing. It should highlight that in the list, click on GO
Then Click on "Change my deduction". That will display the actual amount of itemized deductions vs. the standard deduction. (Be sure to uncheck "Change my deduction" after checking it so you do not lock in the wrong deduction.
