Deductions & credits

WAIT!  You are getting the Standard Deduction.  You must both be over 65.  The Standard Deduction is 24,800+1,300 each = 27,400 for Joint.  So go though the deduction section and enter your charity amounts.  Then keep going and finish that section.  It should say the Standard Deduction is right for you.  Then it will add the amount to line 10b.
