If Turbotax 2024 Deluxe is not deducting my charitable contributions to Goodwill from my Federal taxes, but, It is deducting them from my state taxes. Why?

I'm not doing anything different from previous years. The forms appear to be correct. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is the program using the standard deduction for federal and itemized deductions for state?

Are all your deductions more than the standard deduction? Turbo Tax starts out by giving you the Standard Deduction so you won't see a change until your itemized deductions go over.


For 2024 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 14,600 + 1,950 for 65 and over or blind (16,550)

HOH 21,900 + 1,950 for 65 and over or blind (23,850)

Joint 29,200 + 1,550 for each 65 and over or blind (30,750/32,300)

Married filing Separate 14,600 + 1,550 for 65 and over or blind (16,150)
