Is the charitable cash contribution of $251 being reported on line 12a of the Federal 1040 tax return?  You may view the Federal 1040 at Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040.

 

Federal 1040 line 12b Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act can be entered or corrected at either:

 

  • Federal Taxes / Deductions & Credits / I'll Choose What I Want To Work On / Charitable Donations / Donations to Charity in 2021, or 
  • at the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act immediately following Based on what you just told us, the Standard Deduction is best for you.

But the second entry appears to produce better results.
