It was a casualty loss due to a qualified federal disaster.

No the IRS is just ignoring the $600 from the front page. I wonder if there is some kind of software issue on their end. Proseries shows the standard plus the casualty on a special Sch A. Maybe the IRS "thinks" they are itemizing because of that and not allowing the $600 from page 1????

Line 12a is $28,204 which is $26,450 plus the casualty loss of $1,754. We added the $600 on line 12b. The IRS is ignoring the $600.

That is correct we are not taking the charitable deduction twice, but the IRS is saying its a math error.

@GLS It is a math (operator) error. You do not get both. Look at the complete return and I believe you will see that there is a Schedule A. You do not get the $600 in addition to the total Schedule A amount. I betcha dollars to donuts that you have lots of numbers on that Schedule A, not just the casualty loss.
Also look for the error check that should tell you this same thing.

The Casualty Loss is added to the Standard Deduction. It is NOT considered as Itemizing.
As was mentioned, I also suspect it is an IRS software error.

Did the casualty loss make the itemized deductions more than the standard deduction? If so, then you are taking the $600 twice. Once included on schedule A and again on page 1. But I would think that this would have been found on an error check - not sure how it could go through both ways.
