What you need to do is to remove the charitable contributions in the deductions and credits section. Then go to deductions and credits and scroll the entire way through until you reach a page that says the standard deduction. The next screen will let you claim $300 or $600 (Married Filing Jointly).
On the federal 1040, 12A should be blank and 12B should have the $300 or $600 standard deduction amount.
