Re: Failure to include above-the-line charitable contributions. As many have pointed out, Schedule AI, line 7 fails to include any amount on Form 1040, line 12(b) (above the line charitable contributions: up to $300 single / $600 MFJ). Taxes calculated on lines 14(a), 14(b), and 14(c) are therefore slightly higher than they should be. (The deduction is properly included in the final tax calculation in 14(d), even though the taxable income shown on line 13(d) is incorrect.)
Schedule 2210AI Line 1(a) includes AGI actually earned in that period. If you made a $300 donation on Christmas, you can't say $75 of it was made 1/1 -3/31. TurboTax could have been programmed to enter amounts for each period, but it was not. You could do a workaround. If you made your $300 donation on Easter (April), then replace your Line 1(b) with an AGI $125 ($300/2.4) less than what you have there now. Note that you would not change Line 1(a). Line 1(c) would be $200 ($300/1.5) less than what you have there now.
