Wrong valuation method for stock donation

[DM-charity]

I donated publicly traded stock to charity. If I select "Stock, publicly traded" on "Charitable Contribution Detail worksheet", then line 4 for "Method used to determine the fair market value" is filled in with "Comparative sales."  This is incorrect. The IRS requires Average Share Price.  As a work-around, I can select Securities other than stock and select the proper setting, but I would prefer this be fixed. I believe this has been incorrect for several years in TurboTax.

I agree with you.  What's more, however, is why would this change be made after selecting "average share price" without giving you an error message of some sort?  I only discovered it when reviewing my full return.

You can manually correct it on the back end by going to "Forms" in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
