There was an known error with the charitable contributions that has beem corrected, but it seems to still be showing up on your return.

 

If the first set of steps does not resolve it, then go on and do the next set pf workaround steps.

  1. Click Deductions and Credits
  2. Select Review/Edit
  3. Click Edit to the right of Standard Deduction

​​Click OK, Sounds Good

  1. Click Wrap Up Tax Breaks
  2. Click Continue
  3. Make sure that $225 is filled in and then click Continue
  4. Click Lets Keep Going




Here is the work around for claiming your $225 Charity Deduction:

  1. In TurboTax select Federal in the panel on the left
  2. Select Deductions & Credits at the top of the page
  3. Under Your Tax Breaks - Charitable Donations 
  4. Click START to the right of Donations to Charity in 2020
  5. Click YES
  6. Click ADD next to Money
  7. Type in the name of the charity that you donated to

Now the $225 will appear on Line 10B and in the Charitable Contributions screen
