I do think there could be an issue when the Standard Deduction is within 300 of Itemized Deductions BECAUSE the standard will be more if you have at least 300 in charitable contributions as a result of the new this year "above the line up to $300 charity deduction".
If this is the case, you might be better off with the Standard Deduction, or you'll need to change your charitable contributions.
