Workaround - Go to Step by Step Federal Deductions and Credits. Update the charitable contributions. It will take you to a place where it gives the standard deduction. It lists the total charity donations. Only cash and cost of travel, supplies etc are deductible if you take the standard deduction. Non cash items like clothes are only deductible if you itemize deductions. Accept the standard deduction and it will change the 1040 line 10B and update the refund or lower the amount of tax owed.
I haven't been able to get it to work if I make the entries directly on the charitable donations forms. It doesn't carry over any changes from the forms to the 1040 unless I am in Step by Step.
