This isn't a rejection and I think it isn't a real detected change. If you created a 1040X for those it shows as no change. I think a recent update kinda broke something but doesn't seem, hopefully, to have actually had an effect on returns.

Yes, that is the message I was referring to. So it sounds like "no action necessary" from me and the clients will get a full refund. Thank you so much. One less thing to worry about. 😃

Were the returns prepared before Intuit updated the system on where those deductions needed to be entered?

My client took her standard deduction ($14,250) on the original return. The amendment had no effect on the standard deduction, but now 1040x line 2, column C reads $14,550, which includes the charitable deduction. To avoid showing a $300 change in column B, I made col A and col C entries equal, resulting in an e-file rejection. File under "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Or you could just enter the amounts in the correct boxes and not be damned at all.

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.
