Minnesota M1 Line 4

[ANB]

The standard deduction for married filing jointly is coming up as 25050 instead of 25100.  Should I change it? And if so how?

You're right.  It should be 25100.  I would change it.

Also had trouble with Federal 1040,  line 12b and the charitable contribution if you take the standard deduction and file married filing jointly, and have given more than $600 you should be able to record $600 on line 12b and then on line 12c add 12a standard deduction amount and 12b the charitable contribution amount.  At the final review, the number populates back to $300. It then continues to show up as an error.  So, I had to manually change the number and fix the errors but not run the error check again.

@ANB the Minnesota standard deduction for married filing joint is $25,050 in 2021 per the instructions for form M1.

 I guess the $25,050 is correct for Minnesota as per the www.revenue.state.mn.us/minnesota-standard-deduction
