How do I report this Charitable Contributions BUG???

[BankerBeth]

I changed the $300 number to $600 on the 1040 form and then went right to e-file, and it worked!  Thank you so much RussHampton! This bug was so frustrating until I tried this work around!

Ran into the exact same bug when I went to file. TT didn't automatically select the filing jointly amount of $600, just said the $300 amount was "unacceptable" - took a few moments to figure out what the problem was.

The Kansas Return was rejected NOT the Federal.

[Al50]

Agreed.  I can only conclude that Turbotax is glad to take your money by selling the software but is not interested in hearing about bugs.

[Kennepede]

Too bad you have to hunt down the issue only to find that it is a well know bug, but no fix is being offered.

After over 50 years of Turbo Tax this is the last year for me!!!

This is how I submitted my charitable donations, but still I am getting my CA state taxes rejected. What should I do? 

[TopMen]

Hi.

Your data entry shows $650.

Did you reduce it to $600 which is the maximum allowed on the Federal when you take the standard deduction?

[TopMen]

There was a software update pushed today on February 17, 2022.

It looks like this has been corrected. It is working as I expected it to work. No error during the final review.

Can someone else confirm if its fixed now?  My federal and state returns are handing the charitable contributions properly now.

[Kennepede]

Yes, it works as expected now. I cleared the values in the 1040WKS, then ran a review. TurboTax alerted about the error to correct. I entered the amount (for me $600) and fixed it. Then I ran the check again and it worked. Previously it would plug in value of $300, then indicate that there was a problem (that it introduced). Confirmed fix. 

[Faffa]

no, my actual entire is $250. That was just a copy/paste of the tab where I posted my donations. 

Today I got another email, still CA taxes rejected!

It worked for me too with the new version from 2/17.

I am piggy-backing on this Charitable Contributions bug to ask about a problem on form 8995 in desktop TTAX 2021. I have no REIT income declared on any other form yet on form 8995 it shows an REIT dividend of $5.00. This amount is multiplied by 0.2 to generate an amount of $1.00 which propagates to my 1040 form line 13; this silly error is keeping me from filing my taxes because the return is incorrect by $1.00.  Help!

It depends. Normally REIT dividends are reported on a 1099-DIV in Box 5, which results in a QBI Deduction. If you imported your 1099 DIV, you may not have noticed this. Check your 1099 DIV's and see if there is an amount in Box 5 and if there is, remove it since it is inconsequential to your return

As of February 25, the procedure does NOT resolve the issue (Turbo Tax Online - Deluxe).
Identical issue with HR Block online.
Customer Service from each company is abhorrent.
