Per IRS 2020 Instructions for Schedule A: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040sca/
1. If you made a charitable contribution in exchange for a state or local tax credit your charitable contribution deduction must be reduced as a result of receiving or expecting to receive the tax credit.
2. There is a Safe Harbor rule that says that under certain conditions you may include this tax credit back on Sched A, line 5a, 5b or 5c, whichever is appropriate. https://www.irs.gov/irb/2019-27_IRB#NOT-2019-12
How do I get this entered in TurboTax?
1. The non-deductibility of the tax credit portion of the donation is not noted anywhere, I had to find out via other means.
2. I can't see how to force my tax credit amount back in so it shows up in Sched A line 5a. Seems like it should on the State Tax Ded Worksheet, line 17, but I can't edit that line directly even though it's blue. I also tried calling it an "Estimated Tax Payment", but that # isn't being brought forward.
Thanks for any help.
