1040/1040SR Wks: Charitable contributions: Charitable contributions has an unacceptable value.

Please return to the Deductions & Credits section, scroll down to "Charitable Donations" and DELETE any cash entries you made there. 

 Go back through the review. The program will ask you for that number again although it may not be until the END of the FINAL REVIEW.  (After the "Tax Summary for 2021" screen)
 
 Enter the amount up to 600 Married Filing Joint.
