Question

Where to enter above the line charitable contributions? New $300 contributions allowed.

There is a new rule for 2020.  Above the line deduction up to $300 charitable contribution. The ProSeries professional program has a line for the deduction.  But it is a flow through line and the program is not helpful in letting you know where to make the original entry.

In 2020 you are allowed to make this deduction if you are not itemizing.

I believe you enter it where you enter any normal charitable cash contribution & it then flows to 'above the line' as appropriate, even if not itemizing.

The only entry I made on Schedule A was a $500 contribution.  Nothing is flowing through to Form 1040 line 10 b.

And for form 1040 line 10 b will not let me make an entry without over riding.
