Why am I getting an error message after entering charitable cash donations when claiming the Standard Deduction?

SOLVEDby TurboTax779Updated December 13, 2023

Some TurboTax Online customers are experiencing an issue when trying to enter their charitable cash donations when claiming the Standard Deduction. When trying to claim the credit up to its maximum values, Married Filing Jointly and Single taxpayers are getting an error check message that says 1040/1040SR wks charitable contributions has an unacceptable value.

If you’re receiving the error check message, enter the amount of donations you made up to the maximum limit per your filing status.

For Married Filing Jointly, the maximum amount to claim is $600. For Single filers, the maximum amount to claim is $300.
