Deductions & credits
There's still remains an error about this issue in the Turbo Tax program (Turbo Tax Premier, updated yesterday, 3/24/2022). At the end of Deductions & Credits under Federal Taxes, after entering Done with Deductions, and pressing Continue twice, you come to the page Here are Your 2020 and 2021 Deductions & Credits, which is a summary of your situation. That page shows a list of your individual deductions (Standard Deduction, Charitable Cash Contributions, and possibly others), and the last line, "Total Deductions." The error is that the "Total Deductions" is not the correct sum of the individual deductions (For me, for 2021, the individual items were not summed, but the value entered as "Total Deductions" was just the Standard Deduction -- leaving the impression that the program was ignoring the Charitable Cash Contributions). I talked to a Turbo Tax rep, and he denied that the "Total Deductions" should be the sum of the individual items!!!!!!!!!!!!
At any rate, despite the fact that this interface page of the program is in error, the entries on the actual 1040 form appear to be correct!
