Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I'm stuck in a loop with the charitable contributions. My contributions exceeded $300, so first I entered the total. It says, "too much." It says the same for $300. Help!

It keeps asking me to check my answer for charitable contributions--says it has an "unacceptable value."
