How can I change the year of the donation in its deductible? I entered a donation in 2016 by mistake that should go in 2017. Can I move it to 2017?

There is no quick fix.  You have to enter the deduction under the proper tax year tab.  Therefore, add to the proper tab and delete from the incorrect tab.  I understand how painful that would be if you entered hundreds of deductions before realizing the error.

Dear ItsDeductible, this stinks!

It's a program.  There should be a quick fix.  I'm sure there are quite a few people that discovered the error afterward.

It's even worse in 2025! 

I had a donation started in 2024 in late December. I didn't complete and changed the date to 30 Jan 2025. The entire donation has disappeared. It's not in 2025 and has been removed from 2024. I had a least 40 items entered. I am NOT happy.
