Deductions & credits

But from your brief description, that sounds like TTX is handling it correct.

 

1) Last year, during 2024, when making up your KS tax filing, you made a $33 contribution to a state check-off charity.  That donation was done during 2024....so it gets added to the 2024 Federal tax return (being prepared now) as a donation made during 2024.

 

2)  On this year's KS tax form, you are doing similar.  Donating $25 to a KS charity, and that $25 shows your 2024 KS tax return.......BUT, since the donation is being made in 2025, it doesn't get entered on the Federal tax return as a charitable contribution, until you prepare your 2025 Federal tax return in early 2026.

 

It's the same thing as any other charitable donation you make now, during 2025.

 

i.e. Not a bug. 

TTX does the same thing for my NC state check-off donations on the 2023 taxes I filed in 2024.  If I transfer last year's (2023) tax file into this year's 2024 TTX software, it automatically knows to enter that prior year's NC tax form donation on this year's Federal Charitable donation list.
