Thank you for your suggestion. I went in and deleted each of the Charitable Organization Worksheets and deleted line 12b. Though I had removed the charitable worksheet(s) line 12a still reflected the total charitable donations I had previously entered, so I deleted the entry in line 12a. I went back to Step-by-Step, bypassed entering any donations and then landed on CARES Act page where I itemized the total deductions, continuing through Final Review and as you said no errors. Lines 12a and 12b are as they should be. Looking back at Step-by-Step it shows no charitable deductions which I find strange since that should be populated in order to be included in Schedule A worksheet to help determine Standard vs. Itemized Deductions. The downside was that the total charitable deductions did not carry over to my State Tax Worksheet for Charitable Deductions. My state (Colorado) allows you to deduct a portion of your Charitable Contributions even if you don't itemize. When I entered the charitable donations through Federal Step-by-Step they did carry over to the State, so something is amiss, but no errors.
Thanks to you and the others who contributed suggestions. Hopefully Intuit will look into this and correct the issue.
