Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I have the same problem, and soon many other users will as well. This is a software defect, and it will impact any Turbo Tax user with filing status of Married Filing Jointly, who takes the Standard Deduction, and who made more than $600 in charitable contributions.
It pops up in the Smart Check review, where Turbo Tax flags an error. In the screen shot below, you can see that Turbo Tax had incorrectly entered $300 on line 12b of the 1040 worksheet. Smart Check catches it, identifies the entry as an incorrect value, and prompts for an over ride. I enter 600 at the prompt, and it seems as though I am good to go.
When I run Smart Check again, I get the same error. When I view the error I find I am back where I started - Turbo Tax has inserted 300 in the worksheet and Smart Check has flagged it as an error! Intuit needs to fix this.
