What do I enter on 1040 line 10a (or the box in between 10a and 10b), if I am taking the standard deduction filing as single in 2020? (I keep getting an error.)

I went through the TurboTax questions, and on final review I had an error saying my charitable contribution was too large. I tried changing it to $300 and to $0 and blank. No luck!

I don't know how to delete this post, but I finally solved the problem:

 

I realized that TurboTax Premier did not import my charitable contributions from ItsDeductible. The bug in TurboTax seems to be within the buckets it asks you've donated in. I had selected "1-1600" so TurboTax was able to calculate that I need the standard deduction, but it was not able to fill out the 1040 correctly.

 

I had to do a search for "itsdeductible" to get into the question by question section and find the option to import my data. Once I did that, i ran the error check and got an error on 10b, not the line to the left. I entered $300 there and it finally (after an hour of this nonsense) accepted my taxes.
