Retirement tax questions

Are you trying to remove the deduction or use it?  Please clarify.

 

If you are in TurboTax Online, the screen Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act appears as the end of Deductions & Credits. First you have to pass the screen Based on what you told us, the standard deduction is best for you at the end of Deductions & Credits.  Follow these steps: 

  • At the top of the screen, click on Deductions & Credits.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Wrap up tax breaks.
  • Continue through several screens.
  • At the screen Based on what you told us, the standard deduction is best for you, click Continue.
  • At the screen Any Charitable Cash Contributions? delete or enter the dollar amount.  Try deleting the contents of the box first in case there is some symbol in the box that is causing you trouble.
  • Continue through Federal Review to make sure that things look correct.
