Deductions & credits

The latest thing I'm trying - I went back to Federal, and manually put in my $600 cash donation (originally, it just asked if I donated or something and the amount, I didn't have anything manually put in in the Charitable portion and it was blank). 

 

Deleted my CA refund, started again. I see 600 is reflected in the CA Form under Charitable Deduction. I don't know if this is right, I know nothing about taxes, lol. But it seems right. 

 

Sent in and it is pending now. Next step will be zeroing it out, which I don't want to do and that's why I'm saving it as a last resort.
