Deductions & credits

I took another look at your token. I'm sorry for the confusion previously.

 

When I take a look at your Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, it shows an amount of $25,286 as your itemized deductions. I also see you have contributions in the amount of $9,683. This year, if you take the standard deduction, you also get to deduct an additional $600. This would make your standard deduction be $25,700, which is higher than your itemized deductions and most beneficial in your tax situation.

 

If you using the election to take a charitable deduction of up to $600, on top of using the standard deduction, you cannot enter this through the Itemized Deductions screens. 

 

Please follow the steps below to enter your charitable contribution in the correct place in TurboTax :

  1. Open your return. 
  2. Click Federal from the left side of your screen.
  3. Click Deductions &Credits on the top of the screen.
  4. Scroll down and click the Wrap up tax breaks button.
  5. Continue until you reach the Get a tax break for donating cash to charity screen.
  6. Enter your charitable cash contributions of $600.
