I put in $1000 Cash Contribution and it only allowed $300 for tax deduction. Its for a married couple so shouldn't it be $600 if they use standard deduction?

$300 per return, regardless of filing status.

Interestingly, they must interpret "married" as one filing unit, regardless if they file jointly or separately.  The draft instructions say it is limited to $150 of MFS.

Thanks for the help!!

Sounds like you're testing out TY2020 for the new above-the-line deduction.  If so, the CARES Act only allows $300 per filing unit regardless of filing status.
