Large NFP donation

Hello, 

I've been reviewing IRS limits on over 5k donations of a non-cash donation to an NFP which I understand to be 50% of AGI. However, if it is a MFJ situation, can the AGI be combined household income, or does it have to be tagged to an individual's income? I've looked at Form 8283 and Publication 526 and still not sure. 

If it is combined, then they wouldn't have to bother with carrying over any unused portion. 

Thank you!

It's AGI on the tax return. So MFJ would be both incomes.

If MFS, it would be that person's only.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Thank you!! That makes this situation so much easier!!!
