Surprise! When I delete my $3970 deduction and enter $600, I get the same error when the analysis is done, the Desktop Home and Business 2021 TurboTax enters $300 and I get the error "Charitable Contributions has an unacceptable value" again and I have to change it manually to $600, same identical scenario as before.
BTW, what if in 2022 I have enough deductions by adding/using my charitable contributions carryover and I do not have to use the standard deduction? I can't retroactively use my previous year's charitable contributions if I did not declare them in the corresponding year!!
So you are saying I should ignore this: "If your charitable donations equal more than the amount you’re allowed to deduct in a given tax year, you may be able to carry excess contributions forward to a future tax year. For most types of contributions, you’re allowed to carry forward the deduction for up to five years."
