Deductions & credits

If you take the standard deduction then IN ADDITION TO THE STANDARD DEDUCTION the IRS offers a charitable donation deduction of $300 for single individuals and $600 for couples filing jointly.  

 

Your standard/itemized deduction comparison is off by less than a hundred dollars.  So the program recognizes that when it adds $600 of your charitable donations to the standard deduction that is going to be higher.  And it is.
