In my situation, although the charitable contributions and other deductions are under the amount for the standard deduction, because of the impact to the state calculation, it is beneficial to use itemized deductions as the impact on state outweighs the impact on federal. This may be a bit uncommon.
When doing the analysis for my return, I get
"1040/1040SR Wks: Charitable contributions. Charitable contributions should be blank."
The worksheet shows 12b with a value of 600 that I did not specify. More concerning is that 12c then shows adding the itemized amount on 12a with the 600 on 12b, thus showing deductions +600 from what my deductions actually are.
When I blank out 12b, the federal tax recalculates to what it should be without the +600.
Even if no changes are made, if I go back to analysis screen, then hit continue, TurboTax has changed the value and flags again the error that there is 1 error on the return to be reviewed -- TT put the 600 back and decreased the federal taxes incorrectly.
