    What are the rules for 100% donations?

    Those articles do not answer my question. The IRS article was dated 2019 and the other article did not mention the K-1 codes.

    Please provide  a more direct answer to my question. Regarding the S corp K-1, are cash contributions to a 501c3 in box G or A?

     

    I am only looking for a Letter response. G or A

     

    That simple!

    "The IRS article was dated 2019"

    It states clearly at the top it is for 2020.

    "Instructions for Form 1120-S (2020)

    U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation"

    "and the other article did not mention the K-1 codes."

    But the first one, the Actual Instructions, have it. First, you use Find, and search for "cash contributions" and I set mine to Highlight All. You find this:

    "Certain cash contributions made in 2020 or 2021.

    ...See Line 12a. Charitable Contributions under Specific Instructions for Schedules K and K-1."

    And then, change your find to "Line 12a" and read this part:

    "Line 12a. Charitable Contributions"

    And below this heading is this subheading: "The codes needed for Schedule K-1 reporting are provided for each category."

    And then you keep reading.
