Deductions & credits
I figured it out! I had forgotten about the extra $300 that could be deducted for charitable contributions when using the standard deduction. My itemized list was $27,615, which is greater than the standard deduction of $27,400, but less than the $27,700 total after adding the $300 allowed for charitable contributions. I didn’t catch it at first because the system kept showing it was more advantageous to use itemized deductions.
I finished my return and it has been delivered to the IRS.
