Itemized is 27008 and standard is 27800. So I am just over the 600. It had occurred to me the program was trying to make the adjustment in the background. So I just deleted my interest deduction which lowered my itemized by 11000. Then the standard deduction when up to 27800 but it only added 300 for the extra charitable even though we are filing jointly. It is all very confusion and needs explanation.
Regarding deleting the charitable and then adding the 600 back in, that never should up - i went all the way through the fed and state.
I was also unclear on deleting the charitable from the fed and adding back to the state. Where on the state return do I add that back in.
Thx
