The software when using the "Check your return for errors" keep reducing from $600 to $300 the maximum allowed charitable deduction for a married couple .
This needs to be corrected,
Please try these steps to enter the charitable cash contribution for 12b:
Please see Why am I getting an error message after entering charitable cash donations for additional information.
This has been an issue reported by a number of users.
Make sure your version is up-to-date as TT is constantly making updates. Supposedly it is fixed, but no promises.
See the response below from a TT lounge discussion thread:
If a charitable donation of cash is entered on Schedule A the program still comes up with an error for the entry of $300 on the 1040 Line 12b when filing as Married Filing Jointly but entering $600 corrects the problem and the error does not re-occur unless you go back and add data to the federal return, then in Final Review the error pops up again. Correcting to $600 fixes the problem again.
