Are you in the Federal Review when this happens? Did you enter any cash ("Money") contributions in Charitable Contributions? And are you taking the Standard Deduction? Did you get the question in the Federal Review about charitable contributions on line 10b on the 1040 (the "above the line" deduction)? What did you enter?

I am taking the standard deduction and have no Charitable Contributions so I dont know why this check came up or how to get out of the endless loop

To get started, please try these steps:

Go to search and type in standard deduction and exemptions.
Click on Jump to standard deductions and exemptions.
Click on continue, this will take you to the screen asking if you have any charitable contributions.
Be sure there is nothing entered in that area.

If that does not work it would be helpful if you could include a screenshot of the loop you are seeing. Before including that screenshot, please be sure there is no personal information included.
