If multiple gifts were made on the same date, UltraTax CS applies the exclusion (until exhausted) by item number. You may view the exclusion calculation for each gift recipient on their Donee Worksheet. Then, if necessary, use this column to force the calculated amount of annual exclusion applied to a donee’s portion of this gift. If the gift doesn’t qualify for the exclusion, enter0(zero) in this column. This information is used in the calculation of the return’s total annual exclusions on Form 709, Page 3, Schedule A, Part 4, line 2 and on the Donee Worksheet.

UltraTax CS uses this information to calculate the charitable deduction on Form 709, Page 3, Schedule A, Part 4 and on the Donee Worksheet for the charity.
