Thank you very much for sharing the draft document. Now I understand why this new limit is not yet implemented in the software. How could I get a notification of when this will be ready from Turbo Tax, realizing that it is very dependent on the IRS. DO you have a notification method?
Thanks again.

This is an IRS Publication and we are waiting just like you are. However, here is a link of IRS forms availability that you can follow. You can check back by trying to file to see if the issue has been corrected. Turbotax will have to program it for our software once it is complete. Here is the link : IRS FORMS AVAILABILITY
@Cynthiad66 Thanks for the additional information. In reviewing the TT worksheet for Charitable Deduction limits and Carryover amounts, I noticed a number of anomalies or errors not related to the 60% calculations. If you would like to know about these, I can explain them.
