Deductions & credits

Hi,

 

NO ONE appears to have answered this question satisfactorily.  The fact of the matter is that, according to IRS rules, Full Market Value is deductible for stocks donated with only Long-Term Gains and there should be NO NEED to enter Cost Basis for these donations.  We are considering such donations for the first time this year (2022 donations to a Donor-Directed Fund, to be distributed at a later time) so we have not done this before. and would appreciate a straight answer.  As best as I can figure out from this thread, TurboTax INCORRECTLY requires Cost Basis to be entered for donated stocks with ONLY Long-Term gains.

Can someone who really understands this confirm that TurboTax treats these donations correction OR that TurbTax intends to correct this issue?|

Thanks,
