Well, I bought TurboTax Premier on the hope that it would now handle non-cash donations correctly. This is grouping "all similar items of property donated to any qualified organization during the year" as described in IRS publication 526 and 26 CFR § 1.170A-13. The software didn't allow me to make groups. I tried groups of similar "description title" (such as "coin collection" and "books"), the software didn't do any grouping or move the donations to >$5000 (i.e. Form 8283 Section B) when the similar group (coin collection) to more than one organization exceeded $5001.
I am sad. I had hope. Now I need to see if I can trick TurboTax into making most of the forms I need. In addition this means I cannot file electronically.
