It depends if there is some other issue with the charitable donation. Some states allow for a deduction for an additional deduction for donations.

 

To make sure it is fully deleted, I suggest to follow these steps in TurboTax:

*Close out of the program and re-open it:

  1. In TurboTax Online: 
    1. Sign Out of your TurboTax program
    2. Close the browser window
    3. Wait a minute
    4. Open a new, incognito Chrome window
    5. Sign in to your TurboTax program
  2. In TurboTax Desktop:
    1. From the main menu under Online or Help, depending on your program level, click Check for Updates
    2. Close out of the program
    3. Wait a minute
    4. Re-open the program

*Delete all related donation pages:

  • From the left menu, select Tax Tools
  • Tools
  • Delete a Form
  • Scroll down to Charitable Organization and delete all related forms by clicking delete and confirming the deletion for each donation related page.
    • Also look for anything else related to Charitable Donations in the federal return such as Form 8283 
    • And check the state return for any Schedule A details

*Lastly, re-run the federal and state reviews.
