immy and Tammy have long attended the True Believer Church (TBC).

And they use TBC’s very convenient “Annual Combined Giving Installment Plan” by simply adding (once a month) $2,500 to one of their routine weekly “Offerings” checks to TBC. In January 2021 they received their “2020 Annual Giving Statement” from TBC showing that TBC had received a grand total of $40,000 from Timmy and Tammy during 2020. In preparing Timmy and Tammy’s 2020 Form 1040, you will input into the soft-ware a Schedule A charitable contribution deduction of ___ for their 2020 pay-ments to TBC.
