I have a slightly different scenario (much more common). I am taking the standard deduction, but also want to take advantage of the extra $600 cash charity donation deduction for 2021 ($300 for me and $300 for my wife). Turbo tax does not seem to show the additional deduction. I tried doing the above (using the Windows/on-computer version, taking out the $600 out of the deductions list. When I do that, I see the prompt indicating that I'm eligible for an additional $600 deduction. But then it doesn't give me credit for that deduction later. When I add the $600 deduction in the standard deductions list for charity (and adding the name of the charity), it shows that on the summary deductions and credits section, but then it does not provide the 'prompt', and I still don't get credit for the deduction. What am I doing wrong?
