Make sure you go through the Deductions and Credits section to the end of the interview. What is important are the figures after you enter your data not while in the middle of entering data. The $300 (single) or $600 (MFJ) charitable contributions is not added to your standard deduction amount on line 12a. The $300/$600 charitable amount is on line 12b. The total of the two is reflected on line 12c.
- I confirmed that this is how TurboTax calculates line 12 amounts by entering data directly into TurboTax.
