Question

Deductions

4 replies
30 views

For the last several years, I itemized deductions for 14 charities but Turbo Tax always says use standard deduction. Can I skip entering all these entries which are time consuming? What is the standard deduction? It would be helpful if Turbo Tax told me " if you don't have $xxxx dollars of deductions just skip it and take standard deduction".

You can make one entry of "charity" if it is cash. Here is helpful information:

What's my standard deduction for 2019?

What is Schedule A?

Video How does the Standard Deduction differ from itemizing deductions?

My standard deduction is $27,000. How much in charitable donations must I contribute in order to have the charitable deductions count as a deduction.
