MarilynG-
Thanks for the response - and I have a couple of comments and a question.
1) I have read a lot about the Form 8283 - like the Link you enclosed with you response, but the explanation in your Link as well as any other articles I have read, as well as the "instructions" on the Form 8283 itself - and none of them tell me where the Form 8283 form flows to - i.e. most tax forms end with a comment that says that "this value" is to be entered in Line of xx on Form xxxx. I just don't see that on this form.
Maybe I am catching on since I will note that multiple Form 8283s may be required - and that is OK - but even then, they should tell you where or what to do with the entries on this form(s). I do note that the Form 8283 is referenced on the Schedule A - but it seems like that should also be referenced on the Form 8283 itself.
Earlier, Champ says that I MUST use a Schedule A for cash contributions in excess of the $300/$600 limit, so maybe my real question is: Is there NO WAY to deduct cash contributions (in excess of $300/$600) OR non-cash contributions OTHER THAN via a Schedule A.
