Deductions & credits

I have a similar problem that seem like just the opposite of yours as follows.

Two weeks ago TT calculated my charitable deduction for a donation of household items correctly and now it is not.   I am already over the 30% of AGI deduction limit due to a carryover of a large capital gain property, but not even close to the 50% deduction limit.   This year I donated cash and household items.  Initially the cash and household items were not limited so I got the full deduction for them.  But now, TT is giving me no additional deduction for the household items by treating them as capital gain property subject to a 30% limit (since I am already over the 30% limit).  The household items should be classified as 50% limit property, but I see no way make TT do what it was already doing just a couple weeks ago.  So this looks like a new TT error to me.      So how do we get TT to fix this?   Does anyone in the community have any more influence than this average joe?  Do we know if TT even reads the stuff we post?
