Standard Deduction and Clothing and house hold items donations

[SLYKTAX]

Is my clothing and household items donation to Salvation Army tax deductible for Federal and California if I take the standard deduction?

Thanks

No.  You have to take the Itemized Deductions.  But you can enter them in case you can itemize on the state return.

Thanks. I have a different question which I didn't get an answer from the forum.

Maybe you have an insight on it.

It is about 2022 California Capital Loss Carryover:   On my 2021 Return last year. On D(540) - It was blank.  On Line 6 . Line 3 &4 are $1,885,  Line 5&7 (5,841), Line 8 is -$3956, Line 9, 10 &11 are -$3000 .  

 But on my California Capital Loss Carryover WorkSheet , Line 6 is $3,960, line 7 is $3,000 and line 8 is $960. So Line 8   "This is your capital loss carry to 2022.  Why was it not transfer to D(540)?

On my D(1040): Line 7 = -$5,841, Line 12=+$1,855, Line 16 = - $3,956 and Line 21 = (3,000). 

Should I entered $956 for my California  2022 CarryOver based on the 2021 worksheet?  Will I get audit for that?

Based on the numbers you've entered here $956 is the amount that should be entered on your 2022 return.  As long as you're sure that those are the numbers that you submitted to California last year there shouldn't be any problem entering them on your 2022 return.  They are what California is expecting to see.
