Schedule A, line 2 using 1040 line 9 instead of line 11
I have some returns where the taxpayers is taking the standard deduction and the additional above the line charitable deduction. So there is no bottom line impact on the return. But the Schedule A line 2, which says to use the a mount from Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 11 ( after the above the line charitable deduction) is actually using line 9 (before the above the line charitable deduction). The form seems pretty clear. Either the IRS form is wrong, or Lacerte's calculation is wrong.
