Deductions & credits
I believe there is a problem with the software but I think I have figured out the issue. If you have filled in the "Charitable contributions if you take the standard deduction" it will give you both answers unless your itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction plus the amount of the "Charitable contributions if you take the standard deduction". In the past you could choose to take the itemized deductions even if it was less then the standard deduction, which you might want to do if you end up owing with less in State income taxes the the corresponding increase in Federal taxes (which was my situation a year ago). It appears the program will not let you do that this year.
