FAQ wrong? Deduct cash charitable contributions if taking the standard deduction

According to the FAQ there is suppose to be a check box labeled: "Deduct cash charitable contributions if taking the standard deduction (forces the standard deduction)" in order to deduct charitable contributions while taking standard deduction.  I do not have that check box in ProConnect. Has anyone else been able to find it?  If I override the standard deduction I am not able to e-file the return.

Note that the standard deduction remains the same, so overriding it doesn't get you the right answer.

I have the same issue.  Can't seem to find it.

If you are working on a 2022 return, there is a pretty good reason why you can't find it.  Sometimes tax laws change between years.

Have you found it in the 2022 1040 instructions?

"I have the same issue. Can't seem to find it."

It's impossible to prove a negative. Keep looking.

Or, you can google:

Me neither the instructions are only for 2021. But the option does not appear to be available for 2022 for some reason. I haven't heard of the law changing but i'll look into it further.

Do that.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
