When running the Smart Check, I consistently get an error message: "1040/1040SR Wks: Charitable contributions has an unacceptable value." and shows a value of $300 in the Charitable contributions data cell . When I go to the Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR Worksheet, and scroll down to Line 12 - Standard or Itemized Deduction, data cell 12a has automatically entered my itemized deduction; where asks to: "Enter the small of these cash contribution made or $300 (or $600 if married filing joint) on line 12b below if you take the standard deduction " it has auto entered the cash contributions from Part 1 on the Charitable Contributions Summary. Data cell 12b is shaded yellow. I've tried the entering the following into data cell 12b: leaving it blank, entering 0 (zero), 300, 600 (I am filing jointly), and the amount of cash deductions from the Charitable Contributions Summary, but each results in the same error message.
