Two possibilities. One, this TurboTax Help was just released.
Two, I am not sure whether you want to claim the deduction or remove the deduction. If you are in TurboTax Online, 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 have to change the value of one or more itemized deductions to $1 so that you qualify for the standard deduction. To remove the deduction, 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.
- If you changed your itemized deductions, restore to the correct values and Review.
