Charity Limit Form 1 problem (100% AGI deductions)
I am seeking help on whether there is an error on Charity Limit Form 1. I am using the Mac download version.
I have designated my charitable giving as 100% AGI, thanks to help from this board.
However, when I look at Charity Limit Form 1, my deductible amount is calculated as half of my AGI. The program then uses charitable carryover amounts to add to the total deductible amount allowed. This error starts on line 39 (of the form), where it sums lines 10, 14, 21 , 27 and 36. All of these lines are blank on the form, but it calculates a value for line 39 that is exactly half of my AGI. (There are no other entires on Charity Limit Form 1, except what is in the 100% AGI section).
This error is then moved to the Charity Contrib form.
Can someone confirm that this is an error in Charity Form 1?
Is it correct that all of my 100% AGI deductions should be taken first, before any carryover?
Any ideas of a workaround for this problem (if it is an error)?
Thanks!
