This message is for TT 2021 CD/ Download and my solution.
Background: Married filing jointly, one currently employed , the other retired.
I experienced a similar error in final stages of filing.
Error:”Check this entry
1040/1040SR Wks: Charitable contributions has an unacceptable value”. In my case 300.
Our solution:
Go to forms. Choose 1040/1040SR Wks form.
scroll to line 12 Standard or Itemized Deduction.
rhe problem lies ( in our case ) was the entries on 12a and 12b.
TT determined the standard deduction was appropriate for us and entered 300 on line 12b.
reading the instructions to to left, there is a determination for married filing jointly.
I changed the amount in the form to 600 as instructed and returned to easy step and all proceeded normally to filing.
YMMV. Good luck, I hope this helps others.
