Deductions & credits

Since this deduction is valid only if you have $300 or more in cash contributions and if you take the Standard Deduction, try going back into charitable contributions and removing the cash contributions.

 

This should not affect your tax return because you are taking the Standard Deduction anyway, right? 

 

Then make sure you go all the way through the Federal Review again (where the last time it told you about this deduction) - TurboTax may or may not tell you that the $300 deduction is not valid, but you will check your 1040 to make sure that it is gone.
