did you put the $4,702 on schedule A first? or even better, did you put the $4,702 in the empty box to the left of line 12b?

12a is the total contributions as you entered them on Schedule A. (Carried to line 12a automatically)

12b says "Charitable contributions if you take the standard deduction". So if the taxpayer is using the standard deduction, you enter the allowable amount for non-itemizers on line 12b.
