As long as your date of acquisition was more than 1 year before the gift date, it should work OK, as far as the value of the donation is concerned.

BUT You didn't really define what problem you are seeing.
For example:
You can enter the donation, but a form 8283 isn't created until the total of all your deductions exceeds the Std Deduction for your filing status.
................nor does it reduce your taxes due (or increase your refund) until itemized deductions takes over.
