Enter the amount on line 10a 1/2. It is the line between 10a and 10b, after entering the amount enter it again on 10b and the amount should flow to 10c.

It's not working for me either.  I have tried inputting it on all of the 10 lines.  I put the number in and it turns red with an error.  Have a call in now.  On this particular return, the taxpayer is a teacher and can take the $250 educator credit AND also had charitable contributions.  It won't allow both the $250 and the $300.

The contribution is entered on the 1040 worksheet, the educator deduction is entered on the schedule 1 worksheet.

So I'm on with support.  Its not the educator credit that's causing the error - the taxpayer had a $20 charitable contribution on their W2 and it's not allowing any more to be added as cash donations over that $20.

I don't get it.  I gave money to a qualified charity, but the software Tax Pro Basic won't take it.  I am working in Turbotax Premier and I can't get post the $300.

Are you entering more than $300 on line 10b?

I can not get it to word.  If I go to “Forms” and try to enter it directly, it will not let me enter anything at all on 10b.   If I go to "Federal > I’ll Chose what to work on > Deductions and credits” then I enter $300 into Contributions.    Nothing shows up on line 10b.    I would have assumed the software would automatically put $300 in 10b. if I had made contributions and still used the Standard Deduction.

If you are using PS Basic enter the $300 directly on line 10a & b of the 1040 worksheet.

Some other program, can't help you.
