1040 Line 12b charitable contributions

[hegarty2733]

I am taking the itemized deduction.  When I run an error check it says there is an unacceptable amount in line 12b.  12b has $300.00 entered into it.

7. To the right of any deductions entered, select Delete to remove any input.

8. You will then select Done with Charitable Donations.

9. On the next page (Deductions), scroll down to the bottom and click on Done with Deductions.

10. Proceed through the following screens until you pass the screen letting you know you are getting the Standard Deduction.  

11. The next screen titled Charitable Cash Contributions under the Care Act will allow you to enter your charitable contributions for 2021.  Enter your total cash contributions on this screen and select Continue.
