You want to itemize your deductions and not take the standard deduction with the Charitable Cash Contribution under CARES Act. Is that correct?
Now that you have removed the charitable contributions, are you able to access the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act?
In TurboTax Online, it 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.
Follow these steps:
- At the top of the screen, click on Deductions & Credits.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Wrap up tax breaks.
- 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.
- Continue through Federal Review to make sure that things look correct.
After you have passed Review, are you now able to add back the charitable contributions? I have seen instances where the Charitable Cash Contribution under CARES Act again re-appears after the screen Based on what you told us, the standard deduction is best for you.
But now at the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act, you are able to again delete the dollar amount and pass Review.
