TT issues reporting donations of appreciated securities
I gave several donations of appreciated call options to charities in 2021. ItsDeductible just can't handle that, since it maxes out at 4 characters for reporting a ticker symbol. So I tried editing the description once it was transferred to TT. Not so easy! It starts asking questions about "share price" (apparently, for this, it wants the mean value of the donation). TT doesn't even ask how many shares or options you donated, so "share price" is meaningless to the IRS. Don't you think the IRS wants to know if you donated 4 call options or 1? Let's get with it, Intuit! Donations of call options has been legal for decades!
It also asks stupid questions like "what is the physical condition of LEN Jan21'22 $35 call?" and "Amount received from bargain sale?"
