Hi MonikaK1 or anyont at Turbotax -
Update as of 2/22/26. Turbotax has still not fixed their software error. When inputting the valuation method for a stock donation, Turbotax defaults to “Comparative Sales”. I have to do an override on the Contribution Worksheet to reflect “Average Share Price” as the valuation method for stock donations (which is the IRS recommended valuation method for publicly traded stock donations). This results in an error message. Today I tried, but I could not e-file with this so-called “error”. To e-file, I would have to cancel my override and file my return with an incorrect valuation method. Any filer using Turbotax that has a stock donation will be forced to file with an incorrect valuation method unless Turbotax corrects their error.
Is Turbotax going to fix this software error? This is very frustrating.
