There is no need for TT to question taxpayers on every detail of the tax return. Were calculations of some sort needed, it would be worthwhile to make sure no arithmetic errors are made (for instance say there was a rule that only 53.2% of a given donations was deductible. it could do that calculation without needing to figure it out every time. But of course no such calculation is needed.) All the 1040 asks for is the total of all cash donations, period. I keep excellent records of all of our donations; TT as it is, adds no value by forcing me to enter donations to non-profits entity by entity.
Here's an idea for TT that would be worthwhile: since TT insists on entity-by-entity totals, why not have a look-up feature for each entity to confirm that it is indeed a bona-fide charitable organization?
