How do I fix my charitable contributions? It says I have an unacceptable value.

Turbotax decided that taking the standard deduction for the Federal return was more beneficial and then checked that itemizing was more beneficial for the CA 540.  I need to show $600 charity for Federal and the total itemization for the CA State.  I cannot figure that out and do not want to file any amendments because Turbotax cannot calculate charity contributions correctly.

If you haven't done it, you can still amend your 2020 and/or 2021 returns

You can hand amend a return, if it doesn't calculate correctly and from what I remember this year it can also be done on TT.  An amendment is very easy to do.  You plug in the changes.  So, these are your choices this late in the game:  amend; correct the amounts on the desktop version, if you used one, by overriding them; pay someone to do your taxes or keep trying to find the answer by going over the form from scratch to see if you missed something.  Again, good luck in whatever you do....e (retired accountant - I tried)
