Smart Check error on the charitable contributions

I have updated TT Deluxe software, but am still getting a Smart Check error on the charitable contributions worksheet line 12b. My cash contributions are $379 , but TurboTax is entering $300 and giving an error in smartcheck. I take the standard deduction for married filing jointly. I do not want to delete these contributions because I want the charities to carry to next year's return.  Please advise.

Smart Check error on the charitable contributions

Please only enter $300 and not more. Please review these steps:

 

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