Deductions & credits

This is not correct.   If you are slightly over the itemized deduction amount.  It may NOT be in your interest to take a standard deduction and claim up to $300 above the line charity deductions.  Some states (MD) conform to federal when itemizing vs std deduction and the amount of the standard deduction may be lower.  As a result, you may be overpaying for state income taxes.  The software is NOT working properly.  It should allow you to chose.
