Incorrect "Non-itemized charity donations" with no option to change (Tax Year 2021)

I am married, filing jointly and taking the standard deduction.  I have two questions

 

1) Does my tithing to my local church count for CARES account as non-itemized charity donations?

2)  If not, how do I remove it?  I've gone through all the screens for federal returns and never have an option to change it.

Yes, tithing to local church count as charity donations if they are a qualified organization. Keep your receipts or other documentation for all of your charitable donations with your tax records.

 

 

While it does count as charity donations, just for your knowledge, please follow the steps below to review your donations:

  1. Click on Tax Home from the left side menu.
  2. Click on Deductions & Credits from the main screen.
  3. Scroll to the very bottom and you should see an option for "Wrap up tax breaks".
  4. On he next page you should see a page titled "Get a tax break for donating cash to charity" . On this screen, you can enter the information.
