That was such a perfect answer that the TT reps that I spoke to over the phone was giving me the runaround!
I did not make a Cash contribution and hence cannot deduct - this explains everything, so it is not a quirk of TT, just that I was not reading the tax rules properly and the TT folks also was not at all knowledgeable.
Although I will not be able to claim any charitable deductions, thanks for the answer.
