Has anyone else had this rejection reason?

What needs to be done:

likely an IRS problem with the contribution section on schedule A. doesn't appear to be anything you can do until then. wait til the date specified an, check for errors, and if none re-e-file

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%, re-filed, and my federal was finally accepted.
