Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There are steps you can take to get around the issue @CKreuz

 

You just have to click through a few more screens to get your deduction to show up on Line 12b.   Right now, TurboTax does not know if you are taking the standard deduction or if you are itemizing deductions.   To clear this up in TurboTax and get your deduction recorded on your tax return, do the following.  

 

  1. Click on Federal on the top left side menu.   
  2. Then choose Deductions and Credits at the top.   
  3. Scroll all the way down and click on Wrap Up Tax Breaks.

 

You will get some follow-up finalizing questions before you see the message - The Standard Deduction is Right For You!   Continue clicking through those screens, answer the Cares Act Contribution question, and your charitable contribution should then show up on line 12b of your Form 1040, correctly.
