I understand what you're saying in your answer to that person's question, but when I look back on my last few years of taxes, I don't see that Turbotax did anything, in the carryover section. Hopefully I'm just looking at it wrong. My husband and I give about $22,000 a year in cash payments to several charities and while doing my taxes this time, I didn't see the number go down at all (that we owe) I started reading about carryovers and I've never ever put in anything in there since I didn't know what it was. our AGI is $ 167,184. Am I doing something wrong?
