2021 Charity Donation

When completing my 2021 federal taxes, my itemized deductions are slightly lower than my standard deduction.  TurboTax recommends the standard; however, I still chose to itemize because by doing so, my bottom line federal tax liability doesn't change yet my State (MD) tax liability is significantly less by itemizing on my federal return.  No issues there; however, the issue that I have is that when I review my 1040 (before finalizing/filing), it correctly shows my itemized amount...but incorrectly populates in the line below it, the additional $600 charitable deduction as if I'm taking the standard deduction (but I'm not).  How do I remove the $600 entry, which TurboTax is including but I am not entitled to?  Thanks!
