Another Gift Tax Question

[erchess]

My software wants me to put on the Gift Tax Return the charitable contributions made by each individual. How shall I allocate their total charitable contributions?

Do I have to figure out whose account each donation came from?

Do I split the Sch A chartiable deduction on their joint return arbitrarily and if so how?

What effect does the Sch A deduction have on their gift tax situation?

Thank you for all answers.

TTB has info on gift tax returns: Starting with page21-23 Here's a quote from 21-29

She claims a charitable deduction on line 7 for the portion of the gift to the church not excluded by the annual exclusion.

Thank You

I need to re read that section. Once was not enough.
