Deductions & credits

It depends and not a problem. You can choose to itemize even though the Standard Deduction may be larger. Here are the steps.

  1. Log into Turbo Tax.
  2. Go to federal>deductions and credits
  3. Scroll through the screens until you arrive at a screen that says The Standard Deduction is right for you. Here you can change to itemize deduction. I have included a screenshot on what this should look like at the bottom.
  4. After you change this, scroll to the next screen to remove the $300 charitable cash contribution as this is only available to standard filers.
  5.  Here is the screenshot. Be sure to select the button that says Change my Deduction if you wish to itemize.
