The problem appears to be that a charitable donation was entered in the Deductions and Credits section of the program when you are only eligible for the Standard Deduction.
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen
Click on Tools
Click on Delete a form
Scroll through the all the forms, schedules and worksheets listed and delete all the Charitable Organization forms listed.
When completed with removing forms click on Continue With My Return at the bottom of the list.
Click on Federal on the left side of the screen
Click on Deductions & Credits at the top of the screen
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Wrap up tax breaks
Continue through the screens. After the screen showing that you are getting the Standard Deduction the following screen is Charitable Cash Contributions under Cares Act. Enter $600 if filing Jointly or $300 for all other filing status'. The federal review and the Final Review should no longer show an error for the charitable donation.
Thanks for your fast reply. I'm filing standard deduction on federal and itemized on my state. When I delete a contribution in the federal section, it also deletes it for my state. I went in and changed the $300 to $600 when the program came up with item to review. My concern is will line 12c being blank cause any errors when the federal processes the return? Line 14 have the correct information but it's suppose to be the total from 12c and 13. Both 12c and 13 are blank. Thanks for your help
