Is there a way to overcome the problem with the $300 deduction to charity which prevents me from filing electronically?

I can't file electronically because of my $300 charity deduction. is there a solution to this problem?

her's what TurboTax says  - enter nothing directly on 10b.   cash (money contributions) must be entered through the charitable contribution worksheet/  then after you finish with itemized deductions it looks at the standard deduction vs your itemized deductions. if itemized are better you get no charitable deduction on 10b. if the standard deduction is better, cash contributions up to $300 or actual if less should appear on 10b

In agreement with Mike9241 try entering the charitable deductions as follows-

For 2020, you are allowed to deduct up to $300 ($150 if Married filing Separately) of cash donations to 501(c)3 organizations even if you do not itemize your deductions.

In order to take this above-the-line deduction, enter your donation(s) under Deductions & Credits > Charitable Donations > Donations to Charities in 2020.  The deduction will be added above-the-line by TurboTax after you have completed the Wrap up tax breaks interview in TurboTax if you take the Standard deduction.

On your form 1040, this deduction appears on line 10b - Charitable contributions if you take the standard deduction.
