Charitable contributions deduction problems/errors

[Gwen8]

My token number is 1129982.  I have issues with my 2021 and my 2022 computations on Charitable deduction limits worksheet for carryover contributions.  The numbers shown are incorrect.

I am sure you are right. I reported several errors for 2021 and 2022 but could not get any commitment when they would be fixed.  You may have to edit the forms manually.  If you want to share any more info. I will try to help.  Waiting on TT to talk with an expert may take months as it did for me. Let me know if you want help.

Thanks for the message.  I checked and the same issue I'm having with Charitable Deduction Limits Worksheet for Carryover Contributions in 2022 happened in 2021.  I didn't catch it then.  The computations in Step 2 Section A, D, F and G did not compute correctly. I have to probably file for an extension at this late date for 2022 and figure it out.  I've used TurboTax for many, many years and this is the first time I've had an issue.  Or at least, the first time I realized it.

ok, I am not sure what topics those are.  The errors that I found were in the application of carryover charitable contributions.  Due to COVID the limit on the total amount of charitable contributions was raised from 60% to 100% of AGI, and they had several wrong steps in the process.  I think just manually editting the forms is the only way to solve these issues.  They will not revise the code until the following year, if ever.

Thanks for the response.  I will have to file for an extension so I can manually do the computations.  Unfortunately, 2021 had errors as well so I will need to do an amended return for 2021 before I do my 2022.  Everyone makes mistakes (including Turbo Tax obviously) but it's how you respond that makes or breaks the customer loyalty.
