My itemized deduction is 24,955, which includes charitable contribution of $2,400. Standard deduction is 24,800. Because IRS allows for up to $300 deduction for charitable contribution on top of the $24,800, it makes sense for me to use standard deduction and put $300 in line 10b. TurboTax doesn't how to do that yet..according to the post, they are working on an update. So I went into the forms and manually change both boxes in 10b to $300. For some odd reason, it already used standard deduction amount in 1040 form and I didn't have to change that. After that, there's no more errors reported by the software. I hope that is an ok change and it won't have issues when I e-file my taxes. Has anyone else tried that?
