Charitable Donations

[rfscharm]

I did the work around and can get all the way through and the review does not change it back to $300.   I appreciate the work around but there is still a problem.   When saving the 1040 line 12c is not populated.  It should add lines 12a (Standard Deduction) and 12b (charitable contributions) and populate on line 12c.  It does not.  However, line 14 is correct (add lines 12c and line 13).  Some people will file paper copies and I am not sure if it will be rejected?

We appreciate the observation, and we're glad the workaround was successful.  The IRS will successfully process these returns, both E-filed and paper.  Paper returns are transposed and run through the Identical checks that the E-filed ones do.  It just takes an extra step.

Just to clarify your question:

• Boxes 12a & 12b are posted correctly
• However, 12 c is empty
• But Box 14 is correct
• Are you using Online, or Desktop software
• What version are you using (Free, Deluxe, Premier, Self-employed)

The reason I ask is that I did post a return with similar information, and 12c is correctly posted.
