You are offering a work-around to fix a TurboTax programming error.
First - If you are an expert or even experienced with TT, you probably do not need to go through the Questions and Answers part of the program but instead simply use the forms to enter your data. I have prepared tax this way for years without issue. I should not now, as I have never in the past, been required to go to the Questions and Answers part and click 'done' to complete the return.
Secondly - TurboTax should not require that you delete or change anything on Schedule A to take the 'above the line' charitable contribution. The program knows if the Itemized Deductions or the Standard Deductions are being used.
Third - when running a Final Review, the program will change a $600 entry to $300 regardless of the filing status and still highlight it as an error. The program should not change the value simply highlight errors.
