Hello JamesG1,
This morning I've spent yet more time on the itemized deductions dilemma. The only thing I can determine at this time is that the program software will not allow the CARES Act contributions to be changed to 0 or to be deleted. Once again, going through each of your suggestions, changing the value of an itemized deduction, qualifying for standard deduction, trying to delete CARES Act contributions and/or changing the amount to 0 (I even tried changing it to 1) which are all unacceptable to the program, then going back and restoring the correct itemized deduction, whereupon the screen determines itemized deductions are best for me, until "completecheck" process is done and deductions are changed back to standard. JamesG1, I understood there was an investigation opened on this issue. Where does that investigation stand? Shouldn't TurboTax be trying all these suggestions and finding the successful solution?
