Deductions & credits

Thank you for the information. I was able to resolve the problem. 

1) I didn't see anything in the process that stated the $300 deduction was for money donations only. Perhaps I missed it. 

2) I went to Tools and Deleted all of the charitable donation forms that I had created. 

3) Added back the money donations, as instructed. 

4) When I got to your last bullet, it still had the original amount. So I changed it to match the new money only amount. The error ceased to appear.
