Thanks for responding, Julie; but no, that's not my issue: I do not have a charitable donation carryover; that would require me to have donated over 60% of my AGI, in 2020; I managed about 10%, as has been my practice for 50 years. My concern is that Turbo Tax entered a number on their worksheet, Line 3, that matches my actual donations in 2020; and that number, combined with my contributions for 2021, carries over to Schedule A and appears on Line 6 there. I suppose I will call TurboTax; I dread trying to explain this to a skeptical listener, but there it is.
