Re: charitable contributions if you take the standard deduction - TT uses $300 instead of $600 which is why 12c is left blank when form is printed. How do you fix?

Received error 1040/1040SR Wks:  Charitable contributions:  Charitable contributions has an unacceptable value.  TT lets me enter $600 but it doesn't update the total value in line 12c therefore causing the field to be blank when the form is printed.

Please try these steps to enter the charitable cash contribution for 12b:

 

  1. Open you return
  2. Click "Federal"
  3. Click “Deductions &Credits” on the top
  4. Click "I'll choose what to work on" (do not enter any donations under Charitable donations, if you did delete them)
  5. Scroll all the way down and click the "Done with deductions" button
  6. Continue after the "The Standard Deduction is right for you!" screen
  7. Continue until the "Get a tax break for donating cash to charity" screen
  8. Enter your charitable cash contributions (do not enter more than the maximum of $600 for married filing jointly/ $300 for other filing status!).
