Deductions & credits

There are two steps in entering the line 10b above the line deduction.

 

The first is to enter the contribution in the charitable contributions section (it must be as CASH).

 

The second step, which is not obvious to taxpayers, is that during the Final Review when TurboTax knows that (1) you have made one or more cash contributions, and (2) you are taking the Standard Deduction, then TurboTax will ask you the amount to put on line 10b.

 

Only after this is done will the amount appear on 10b.
