Deductions & credits
My return uses Itemized Deductions and they seem to me handled OK. But when the Final Review Smart Check is performed, the one and only error is the unexpected appearance of: "Check This Entry - 1040/1040SR Wks: Charitable contributions: Charitable contributions should be blank." The viewable box shows $600, and when that is deleted (as it should be), I press Continue and re-save for file for submission, immediately after which all appears OK and the final printed forms have that line 12b blank. BUT, after filing Federal (I am delaying the state as the deadline is later) and each time I re-open that file, that $600 gets put back in again by the program in the 1040/1040SR Wks, and the error return during the next Smart Check. Yes, I can—each time—delete the $600 entry again after a Smart Check sees it, but why does it keep reappearing? I think it's a bug, but if I knew how to master it, I'd feel better.
