Non-Cash Contribution - REALLY?

[Ephesians3-14]

In the 2023 software, if OVERALL you had less than $500 in Non-Cash Contributions, you could just type in "Non-Cash Contribution" and enter the amount. Two fields entered.

In the 2024 software, under the exact same scenario, you are (unnecessarily) required to enter the address, date donated, FMV, etc. NINE fields now need to be entered for each donation - even if the overall donation total for all non-cash donations in under $500.

Why did Intuit make this unnecessary change? Am I missing something?

There was a glitch in contributions in the partnership return to start the year which evidently has migrated to the 1040.  The 1065 is fixed but the 1040 is awaiting a fix.

It was reported to development last week, we'll see how long it takes to fix

Typical ProSeries!!!. Every year there is some type of glitch which one would think is a simple fix or should be carried over from prior years but just is annoying and time consuming.

I remember a few years back when prior year State refunds were not being carried over to the current year as income. It wasn't until almost March before that was fixed.

I believe it was last year i wasn't able to get into the program unless I signed in online. Again that was fixed maybe in March.

Be patient I'm sure by March this will be fixed.

Called twice concerning this. First they told me it’s IRS regulations. Now they are not sure.  Just e-filed a return without the information (errors were shown on the error checking) and unchecked “enable conversion error checking” and guess what…the IRS accepted the return. That indicates to me pretty clearly it’s a programming error and not IRS regulations. Frustrating. Time is money. No need to enter useless information.

@Just-Lisa-Now-  Are you still experiencing these issues?

All fixed with the last  update!
