All of the "SOLUTIONS" presented in this thread are kludges being put forward to work around an OBVIOUS Intuit TurboTax coding problem.
The software KNOWS that $300 is NOT correct if filing status is MFJ, your charitable contributions EXCEED $600.00, and you are electing to take the Standard Deduction. I am unwilling to LOSE visibility of the some $5000+ I gave to charity last year (on the Worksheets, et al.)
I should be able to have the REAL total on 12a, and the program should KNOW to put $600 on 12b and leave it the frack alone.
I'm still waiting on a "real" W2 (manually entered from Payroll report), so I will leave this alone and give Intuit a little while to fix this.
This is BROKEN!!!
