Revision to my previous post. I added more charities. On the worksheet, 12a, it shows the correct total. It should carry over to 12b and it does not; you have to manually enter the correct total into 12b, or else your charitable contributions will not be transferred to th 1040. At this point, I'd say this is a fairly serious (though one you can work around IF you know about it) bug. Since most people won't know to dig (they would assume that entering your charities in step by step is all they need to do), they could miss up to $300 per person ($600 married filing jointly) in charitable deductions when taking the standard deduction. IOTW, people could easily overpay their tax by a couple hundred dollars.
I did call Intuit. I'm not sure the rep understood what I was saying, hopefully he did and he filed a bug report as I requested. But anyone reading this, please note if it affects you, and if someone from Intuit sees this, please make sure there's a bug report.
