IT-558 does not reflect "charitable contributions if take the standard deduction" entered on 1040 federal form(line 12b) and does not allow typing in the Forms View

IT-558 does not reflect "charitable contributions if take the standard deduction" entered on 1040 federal form(line 12b) and therefore line 19a (Recomputed federal adjusted gross income) in NY IT-201 is wrong.
I tried to update the form manually. However, form IT-558 and it's worksheet in TurboTax Home & Biz downloadable (on Windows10) does not allow typing (other than filling checkboxes) so I can not type in IT-558 the code A-003 required for the charitable contributions. The latest update (02/09/22) did not help.

There is no A-003 on Form IT-558.

 

Gifts to Charity is entered on line 16 and 17 on the IT-196, included in the amount for New York Itemized Deductions and carried to IT-201.

 

Enter the amount on Form IT-196 Line 16. 

 

If that is not possible, and the cash contribution is not flowing to the state, enter the amount on the Federal Screen under Deductions & Credits. 

 

IF you are filing Married Filing Joint and claiming 600 as the Charitable Donation, please enter the 600 as "Items" rather than cash in Deductions and Credits to bypass an error. 

 

(NOTE: Some states allow you to Itemize Deductions when taking the Standard Deduction on the Federal Return. To include cash charitable donations as an Itemized Deduction on your STATE return, you can enter the donations as "Items" select "I'll value them, select "Other intangible property" enter the description as CASH, since it was and the amount as the value.)

Thanks for the quick response. However, I was not asking about "Gifts to Charity" which require the itemized deduction option. I was referring to CARES Act up to $600 cash Charitable Deduction if you take the standard deduction ( max was $300 in 2021). The $600 will then be an adjustment to the federal gross income on the NYS Form IT-558 under code A-003 which should be entered on IT-558.
