Deductions & credits

TT program has an issue: with  "Standard deduction" & married.  A work around  (TT needs to resolve program) is to  "zero" out all you Charitable deduction. Then after "done with deduction"  TT will prompt you

Confirming Standard deduction. It will take you to the Cares Act  were you can enter $600.00. This will  alloow TT to pass all Federal Tax checks with "no error"

 

When you do this and filing your state Tax :  you will notice  your State return will be lower. This is because you zeroed out the charitable donation.  Under Forms: look for your state tax return and manual enter charitable donation on form.    This will  add charitable donation to state and recompute your State return amount.

So far this has worked!  and passes all TT checks
