The reason for this could be if you are taking the charitable contribution deduction ($300 or $600 depending on your filing status) on top of your standard deduction. If so, the standard deduction may be more beneficial to you.
When you preview your return, is there an amount on your 1040, Line 12b?
Please follow these steps to preview your 1040:
- Open your return.
- Click on Tax Tools on the left-hand side.
- Click on Tools.
- Click on View Tax Summary.
- Click on Preview my 1040 on the left-hand side.
- Scroll down to your 1040, Line 12b.
Line 12b is your contribution deduction amount on top of your standard deduction. Considering Line 12b, your deduction may be greater if you take the standard deduction.
