@Harry McLean - not following.... if you tried to itemize and the standard deduction was more advantageous, TT will use the standard deduction.
Beginning in 2020, Congress passed a law that stated even if you take the standard deduction, the first $300 of cash donations (no goods or services) could still be deducted. That same law is changed to $600 for a joint return ($300 for single or HOH) in 2021.
does that help?
