Can't e-file if I donated to GoodWill?
I'm using TaxCut and when I got to the eFile stage, it says I can't efile because the 8283 form for itemized deductions of non-cash donations is too big. We went to GoodWill many times during the year and since each entry is dated, it lists a total of 18 donations. The form only has boxes for 5.
Any way around this so I coudl eFile and still claim all my itemized stuff? This pisses me off since I bought the version that includes 3FIling for $30 extra and now can't use it.
TaxCut Premium handles much more than 3. I just checked on a return that had 12 cash entries. That return was e-filed with no problems.
/edit - checked that these were cash entries - there were only 8 non-cash entries.
Here's a pic of my Donations screen:

When I try to efile, it says:
Sorry, you're note eligible to e-file your federal return this year for these reasons:
Only 2 copies of Form 8283 are allowed.
Because your federal return is ineligible, you will not be able to e-file a state return.
The 8283 form only has spaces for 5 individual donations and since I went through and entered each separate trip to each place as its own item, I need 4 copies of that form which is too many.
But if the dates don't really matter, can I jsut go back in and take the totals form each and change it from Individual entry to Bulk Donation and just put in the totals? Then I'd just have one line for each charity even though each would be representative of multiple dates?
Just want to make sure I'm understanding you right before I go change everything. heh.
Thanks.
