Even if you don't itemize your deductions, you should enter your full contributions made on the federal side of your return. This way, if you are eligible for the full contribution credit on the California side, you won't have to make any manual additions/subtractions.
Please follow these instructions to enter your contributions:
- Open your return.
- Search donations.
- Select the Jump to donations link.
- Answer yes to the question Did you make any donations to charity in 2020?
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Reopen your California return.
- Your contributions should be deducted if you are eligible for the deduction.
