You do not have to report the $600 Federal 1040 line 12b Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act.
You do not have to claim the standard deduction if you can qualify to itemize deductions on Schedule A Itemized Deductions.
What values are being reported on lines 12 a, 12b and 12c of your 2021 Federal 1040 tax return? Please clarify.
I believe that you are reporting:
- line 12a $25,100
- line 12b $600
- line 12c $25,700
You may view these entries at Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040.
Are you able to not enter the $600 and report itemized deductions on Schedule A Itemized Deductions? Are you receiving an error message of some kind?
