I am getting a message saying I input an unacceptable value for charitable contributions. I did not make any last year, but when I enter 0, I get a smart check error telling me to check my entry. It will not let me finish e-filing until I fix the entry but I have no clue what to fix because I did not make any charitable contributions!
