There is a new bug  regarding charitable donations in the 2025 Deluxe. 

the Donation amount to be used for the year, can be entered. 

 The credit amount is calculated correctly. 

  However, 

 What is supposed to happen, is that the  amount of the donation should be reported correctly on line 34900. 

 for example the donation is $400 and the credit is $87.00 .    The credit is then applied to reduce the taxes owing. 

Instead what happens is: 

The donation amount show $87.00  and the credit is NOT applied to  reduce the taxes. 

I have changed the donation amount, and the same thing happens, the credit is recalculated correctly but not appied to the reduction of taxes. and the donation amount shows the credit amount and not the actual donation.
