In CPAexcel it says that charitable deduction is limited to 30% of AGI. But then at an answer explanation, I noticed it said, an individual’s charitable contribution to public charities may not exceed 50 percent of the individual’s adjusted gross income. Can someone explain the discrepancy?

I am studying for REG right now too so I feel your pain. If the contributions is cash, then you use the 50% of AGI test. If the contribution is property, you use the 30% of AGI test.

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love all of the differences and exceptions. :/
