If you are in TurboTax Desktop, the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act appears as the end of Deductions & Credits. First you have to pass the screen Based on what you told us, the standard deduction is best for you at the end of Deductions & Credits.
But you have to qualify for the standard deduction before the screen appears. So you may want to change the value of one or more itemized deductions to $1 so that you qualify for the standard deduction. Follow these steps:
- At the top of the screen, click on Personal.
- At the top of the screen, click on Deductions & Credits.
- Click on I'll choose what I work on.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Done with deductions.
- Continue through several screens.
- At the screen Based on what you told us, the standard deduction is best for you, click Continue.
- At the screen Any Charitable Cash Contributions? delete the dollar amount or change the amount to $0.
- Continue through Federal Review to make sure that things look correct.
- Then restore your itemized deductions dollar amounts.
