ProSeries Frequently Asked Questions

Form 1040, MFJ vs. MFS Split of Charitable Contributions May Be Incorrect

Products Affected:

• ProSeries/1040
• ProSeries Express/1040

Situation

On Form 1040 when the joint amount of charitable contributions is an odd amount, on the MFJ vs. MFS Comparison Worksheet, Itemized Deduction Summary, line 18, the full amount is incorrectly allocated to the spouse.

Solution

This situation was corrected in the Federal 1040 update that became available online on February 17, 2007. Download and install the current update if you have not already done so. (Go to the Update menu and select Update Installed Products.) 

Workaround (prior to update) 

Enter an even dollar amount of joint charitable contributions instead of an odd dollar amount.
