Ramon had AGI of $165,000 in 2020. He is considering making a charitable contribution this year to the American Heart Association, a qualified charitable organization. Determine the current allowable charitable contribution deduction in each of the following independent situations, and indicate the treatment for any amount that is not deductible currently. Identify any planning ideas to minimize Ramon's tax liability.

the situations are missing, so I looked for similar questions:

a. A cash gift of $68,500.

In the current year, Ramon may deduct $68,500 since his charitable contribution is limited to $165,000.

b. A gift of OakCo stock worth $68,500 on the contribution date. Ramon had acquired the stock as an investment two years ago at a cost of $61,650.

The stock's value for determining the contribution is $68,500 (fair market value). The deduction for 2020 is $49,500 (30% of AGI). The remaining $19,000 for years.

c. A gift of a painting worth $68,500 that Ramon purchased three years ago for $61,650. The charity has indicated that it would sell the painting to generate cash to fund medical research.

The contribution is valued at $61,650 (the charity will sell the painting immediately). The amount deductible in the current year is $61,650.

Explanation:

The charitable contribution limit was increased to 100% of AGI for 2020 by the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act).
