When I originally submitted the amendment (that was rejected), I did correct one standard deduction entry so that they matched at the correct amount. Despite line 2 asking for the itemized or standard deduction, that's not what it wants. It wants that plus any charitable deduction taken. I added $300 to both standard deduction amounts and the e-filing was accepted. So what it asks for and what it wants are two different things.
