Question

Charitable Deduction Error

Forum|Forum|4 years ago

Using TurboTax Deluxe 2021. I entered my charitable deduction for 2021 and I see that TurboTax gives us a $600 deduction on our joint return on Form 104 Line 12b.

I complete my return and go to Review-Analyze my return and it changes the deduction to $300.

I go to Federal Taxes - Smart Check and it says I have an error. I click Check Errors and it notes that "Charitable contributions has an unacceptable value" of $300. I correct the number to be $600, run Smart Check and it says there is no error.

If I run Review-Analyze again, it will revert back to $300.

A fix needs to be rolled out for this.

I'm running into the same problem.

Hey just got this issue fixed by awesome rep - Pamela. So you can deduct up to 600 dollars. The steps that worked for me were:

1 - delete the $$ charitable donations (we are going to add them in later).

2 - select wrap up tax breaks

3 - it will ask you one more time about the charitable donations

4 - here you enter the total amount you donated (up to $600 max)

5 - click continue

This worked for me. hope it helps!

I'm using the PC version of TurboTax Deluxe. I don't see where it says: wrap up tax breaks.
