You are correct in that the deduction for contributions of appreciated securities is limited to 30% of adjusted gross income (AGI). However, in the case of donations of appreciated securities made to a private foundation, such donations are limited to 20% of your AGI. If your donation exceeds the AGI limits, the excess charitable deduction can be carried forward for up to five years.
To modify your donation limitation to reflect a 30% AGI limit is to go back to the page where you were asked whether you had an ItsDeductible account. Select No rather than Yes. Selecting No will give you the option to enter your stock information, such as date purchased, cost basis, and value. Handling the transaction this way should result in your ability to claim the 30% limitation of AGI assuming you have satisfied the requirements for donation of appreciated securities.
Here is a link to a TurboTax article that discusses the process described above.
