I have found a "work-a-round". It's not perfect, but it will allow you to submit the correct amt to the IRS.
The entry is made in the Donations section:
- "add another charity"
- when asked "what did you donate", click on "Items" (not "stock")
- click on "I'll value them"
- add date; choose "publicly traded stock"
- for description, enter stock donated
- for "value" on next screen, enter amt. calculated by charity for your tax deduction
- didn't really know what to check for how valued; chose "avg share price"
In addition, I think we have to mail the election form from the charity along with Form 8453 to the IRS.
It would be nice if Turbotax could help out on some of this!
