Deductions & credits

Hi Dave. Thanks for trying to help. As of my last post I had already completed both my federal and state returns - both were accepted. So probably too late to make a change, and don't think it would make enough difference to make it worth it. I was just trying to understand a confusing part of the online preparation of my return. Maybe it'll work out better next year.

 

It just made me wonder why I'm tracking all of these charitable contributions if somehow I'm not eligible to do itemized deductions.... weird !
