This post is to provide feedback to Intuit so they fix their TurboTax question.
At the end of the Deductions & Credits sections, when I click the "Wrap up tax breaks" button, because I'm military one of the additional questions asks whether I donated to a military-related charity. Both options it provides to respond to the question are false.
The first option is wrong because I didn't make a regular donation. Rather than having them put an allotment on my Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), I chose to write a one-time check.
The second option is wrong because I did in fact make a donation.

Here is the question as it appears on the screen:
Did You Donate to a Military-Related Charity in 2017?
Let us know if you gave money to any military-related charities. We're looking for recurring donations that are taken directly out of a paycheck on a monthly basis and reported on the Leave and Earnings Statement (LES).
If you're not sure, we recommend you check your LES at https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx, and be sure to look for the total annual amount (Charity YTD).
- Yes, I regularly donated to a military-related charity in 2017.
- No, I didn't donate to a military-related charity in 2017.
