Non Cash Charitable Contributions

In prior years, and consistent with IRS regulations, if a taxpayer made $500 or less in non cash charitable contributions, you could just enter the name of the charity and the amount and be done with it.  Only if the amount exceeded $500 would you need to provide additional details on donation date, items donated, etc.

This year, even when I list a single non-cash donation of $500 or less, I am getting error notices requiring me to input additional information regarding the donation on a separate form.

Anyone else seeing this?

Once your total of all entries is over $500 then you have to fill it all in.

You mean you enter a single $175 non cash entry and it makes you complete everytng?

Yes, this year for the first time, even if I put in a single donation below $500, I am getting error prompts on a separate "Noncash Contributions Worksheet" asking me to input the donation date and the method used to determine the fair market value.

Test it yourself and let me know if you see the same errors.

it looks ok in Professional, I requested access to a copy of Basic a few days ago, just for trouble shooting purposes like this, but so far...still waiting.

I entered a $400 contribution a couple of days ago and it didn't have a problem in Basic.  I don't have the program handy right now to test it again though (in case a recent update messed it up).

Have you tried deleting each thing (I think right-clicking and then select delete may delete the entire section for that donation) and then re-enter it?
