I had a large list of donations that I printed out as List A and
wanted to reference this on line 16 in schedule A. I was unable to
find any line that would accept any input or typing whatsoever. So I
overrode line16 and entered the total there. I have my doubts about
this move but I don't see any alternative.
This is just another miserable permutation of this product.
I noticed they have tricked up schedule E so you can only have two
worksheets although they mention there are about 15 left.
(I guess it's unless you pay them $30 more and get the premium
offering as they dropped several hints).
I only have the deluxe (read 'cheap') version.

A little procrastination tax stress perhaps? Schedule A, Line 16 links to
multiple Charitable Organzation supporting forms. These in turn are fed by the
Cash Contributions worksheet. Non-cash contributions should be summarized on
Line 17, which is fed by multiple non-cash worksheets.

It links to charitable organizations supporting the forms where they
require the name of THE organization and its name and its address,
that is of no use to me because I cannot conceive of opening up 25 of
these forms. It will not recognize such a title as list A, and the
sheep refuses to accept any typewriting whatsoever.
Tell me how I can make entries to that sheet.

So I just write "See Attached" as the name of the organization, put in
the total from my Quicken Charitable print out, and add the print out
to my return. Has worked for year.

Yes it should but neither screen would accept the first keystroke!! I
couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. Just for the fun of it I
opened up last year's 2008 return and found it to be about the same
and where I deduced that I had had the same trouble and had overriden
the entry just as I had to do this year.
From line 16 you get to "select charitable organization", then "create
new copy", Then you enter "see listA", that gets you to the charitable
organization worksheet with a title list A where they have a matrix
of cells called "combined amounts" and a number of grids None of Which
will accept any keystroke whatsoever.
Where did I miss?
