Get your taxes done using TurboTax

JamesG1:

Thank you for your detailed instructions, but I could not follow them. Here is what I did:

- following your guidance, I removed my "donations to charity", i.e., $600.  Here is the impact: 1 - my tax liability went up, as I would have expected; but keep in mind that my "tax summary" had shown before that out of the $600 donation, $0 was deductible; and 2 - now, my tax summary showed $300 deductible from charity donations!!! 

- then I looked for "Charitable Cash Contributions under the CARES Act" as you had mentioned.  I could NOT find this.  Looked in "Search", no success. 

- so, I went back to "donations to charity" and re-entered my $600 "Money" donation.  Here is the impact: 2 - my tax liability went down, as I would have expected, and 2 - my "tax summary" again shows that out of the $600 donation, $0 is deductible. 

I really think that there is a glitch.  Thank you. Patrick.
