The correct maximum deduction for the Charitable Contribution under the Cares Act for married filing separately is $150.
Federal 1040 line 12b Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act can be entered at either:
- Deductions & Credits / Donations to Charity or
- at the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act immediately following Based on what you just told us, the Standard Deduction is best for you.
However, always pass all the way through both Deductions & Credits and Other Tax Situations.
At Deductions & Credits, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Wrap up tax breaks.
At Other Tax Situations, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Let’s keep going.
Remove the entry at Donations to Charity in 2021 by deleting the entry.
Remove the entry at the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act by entering a $0.
