Please follow these steps to enter the charitable cash contribution for 12b:

Open you return
Click "Federal"
Click “Deductions &Credits” on the top
Click "I'll choose what to work on" (do not enter any donations under Charitable donations, if you did delete them)
Scroll all the way down and click the "Done with deductions" button
Continue after the "The Standard Deduction is right for you!" screen
Continue until the "Get a tax break for donating cash to charity" screen
Enter your charitable cash contributions (do not enter more than the maximum of $600 for married filing jointly/ $300 for any other filing status!).
