Deductions & credits

To resolve the 1040/1040SR Wks Charitable Donations Unacceptable amount issue, try instead the following:

  • Answer Yes about the Charitable Donations to return to the original entry point.
  • Next, be sure to run completely through to Wrap Up Tax Breaks so that TurboTax calculates whether the Standard Deduction or Itemizing Deductions is best for you.
  • At Charitable Cash Contributions under Cares Act, highlight everything in the cell and Delete and Continue.

This will remove the amount from Line 10b.

 

To review what the new charitable donation deduction is while taking the standard deduction, see IRS: How the CARES Act changes deducting charitable contributions.
