Yes, the charity told me the amount of the 2019 deduction, on a copy of Form 8283 marked "Sample". I thought that was obvious from what I wrote about the difference between FMV and actuarial value. Even if it didn't say "Sample", I would really prefer to e-file, so I couldn't use that paper Form 8283.
If I were allowed to enter information on TT's 8283, I would copy that amount onto it and be done with the matter. But I can't do that, because TT fills the Form solely from information entered on the Noncash Contribution Worksheet (description of the shares contributed, FMV, cost basis, date of purchase, date of donation, etc.). If there's a way to answer the TT dialogue for that worksheet that will reproduce my charity's sample, I'd love to hear about it.
One more note -- I contributed shares of two different companies, so it appears that I have to enter data on two Noncash Contribution Worksheets.
