That method works.  I was confused that on the "interview" form I could not enter additional directly on the form, however when I clicked twice it took me to a worksheet on which I could enter the number.  The confusion came from not being able to enter it directly, which is what I would have expected in the "interview".  

Your situation is unclear. If you received the UC payments and repaid them in the same year, you do not owe the income taxes. If this occurred in different years, you owe the income taxes for the year received. In the year repaid, recompute the taxes for the year received by excluding the amount repaid. The decrease in taxes is taken as a credit on Schedule 3 line 13b. These are the rules under IRC 1341. 

likely different though shouldn't vary a lot for a given fund, the info should be published sometime in January, keep eye out here   https://investor.vanguard.com/investor-resources-education/taxes/funds-tax-information

The TurboTax website indicates that the form is available for online use. Save your return and reopen it to see if the form is there. However, not all online versions support this form. You may have to upgrade. Sadly, their website does not differentiate among the online versions. None of the TurboTax versions supports attaching manually created forms.

In addition to the receipt (which does not have to specify value and almost never does), you are required to have a detailed list of items donated that includes when you acquired the item, how it was acquired (purchased, gift, etc), when it was donated, the condition (good, fair or poor), the fair market value, and a description of the item with enough detail to be able to determine the value.  Without that detailed inventory, your deduction can be denied if you are audited.  (And if the condition is poor, you can't claim any deduction unless you have a signed appraisal from a qualified appraiser.)   The fair market value is what a fair buyer would pay a fair seller in a free and open sale for the same or similar item in the same condition.  You can probably find estimated of fair market value for your items from eBay listing, Facebook Marketplace, or the prices that the thrift store sells the items for.  

You wrote that you filed a tax return.  If so, what is on the Form 1040 that was filed?  Did you file as Married Filing Jointly?  If so, then both of you will be on the Form 1040.   Print your tax return - Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen Click on Print Center Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.      

Thank you again.   I'm currently on the US forum, and there don't seem to be any solutions.   When I call TurboTax on the phone, no solutions there either, other than they are "making a notation on my account."   I now cannot do any TurboTax updates until I have a TurboTax rep on the phone in case each update "uses up" another computer, even though I am on the same computer I've been on since original installation.    Frustrating and disappointing. 

It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify.
