Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My wife and I are married and filing jointly, which shows on our Turbotax 1040. We entered in a cash charitable contribution to our church in 2021 of $2,770 which shows up on our Turbotax Schedule A. As expected, Turbotax determined that the Standard duduction was better for us rather than itemized deductions. However, line 12b for charitable contribution only shows $300 instead of $600. Why?
