Incorrect charitable contribution

justaquickquestion — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:15:14 GMT

After filing my taxes, I realized I entered the wrong number for my total Charitable Contributions. I entered $6261, when it should have been $4887. It sounds like this only benefits you if you did an itemized deduction, which I did not. Should I bother trying to amend this?
