We are attempting to put in our charitable contributions which are about 10% of our income not the standard deduction. Turbo Tax has already detected that itemized is best and I have verified this setting is in use. We have entered our charitable contributions first by overall total then by individual contribution with date. Still we are greeted with the above error which will not let us continue. I was not able to find a solution where the standard deduction was not being used and the error was present so posting a new question. This is the only item preventing us from filing our federal taxes. We had completed this similar process last year with no issues however last year we were using the purchased software vs online if that makes a difference. Any help is much appreciated.

I suspect that you may have an entry posted at the second area of entry. If so, you may have to temporarily reduce one or more itemized deduction entries to invoke the screen Based on what you just told us, the Standard Deduction is best for you.
In TurboTax Online, Federal 1040 line 12b Charitable Cash Contributions under CARES Act can be entered or removed at either:
You may have an entry posted at the second area of entry.
Go to Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040 to view line 12b for the charitable deduction.
Then go back to restore your itemized deductions and qualify for Schedule A.
