Charitable donation with Standard deduction
Back in March2022, received a online updat to TurboTax (I have the CD TurboTax). THis corrected issue with
1040SR : Standard deduction and $600 (donation added to line 12b). What this update - prompt saying you are getting "Federal Standard deduction", Next prompt "CaresACT" would prompt you to enter donations $600 (for joint return)
Prior to this update: I had to delete all charitable donation, than go to step by step (On turbotax) and enter $600 and on line 12b enter $600.00. For state tax -If you do it this way, you need to go to step by step, and enter charitable amount in the state tax reutrn.
Go the Preview for Tax form - to verify standard deduction (12a) and CaresAct $600.00 is on 1040.
And verify Total donation are on your State Tax.
Check to see if TurboTax sent you a download - update. Every time I open my TurboTax - I usually get a prompt of available updates. Updates are not automatically - you need tookay update when prompted.
Good luck
