I have gone back to my federal tax forms & removed my charitable donations (since I went with the standard deduction) but the $300 is still being added into my state tax forms (At least that is the note from TurboTax).

What do I need to do?

if you went with the standard deduction you are entitled to up to a $300 charitable deduction for cash contributions - line 10b of 1040.

this deduction comes from answering questions at another section in TurboTax so deleting schedule A won't delete this deduction.

 

since states differ on how they handle this Federal deduction, please provide your state.  do you see $300 on the line cited on form 1040?
