I know this might have been talked about but I am not sure this is just me, is there any reason why my return is rejected because of the code? Is it an error? 

 

Description of error:
Schedule A (Form 1040), 'Total Charitable Contri Amt' must be equal to the sum of the following: 'Gifts By Cash Or Check Amt' and 'Other Than By Cash Or Check Amt' and 'Carryover From Prior Year Amt'
What needs to be done:
This return cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on February 10, 2022. On or after February 10, 2022 open the rejected return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing.

Yes, the error code description explains why you are seeing this error. There is a known issue in the calculation of your total charitable contributions that is expected to be fixed on or after February 10, 2022. Please log into your TurboTax account after that date and return to the review section. The error should be resolved so you can e-file your return.

I had the same issue and did some research on this. After 3 re-files, my federal was finally accepted:

The charitable contributions are limited to 50% of you adjusted gross income. In my case, I forgot to factor in my "carry-over amounts" in 2020 and 2019. I lowered the total charitable amounts to not exceed 50%, saved the information, re-filed, and my federal was finally accepted.
