I have the same problem......regardless of which spouse I input the Charitable donations in the Charitable donations worksheet, they all end up on the first spouse's Schedule 9. Then, using the "optimizer", it appears to fix the problem by switching the donations over to the second (higher income) spouse, however upon exiting the optimizer, it reverts to putting all donations to the first (lower income) spouse.
Using the "easy step" method (which is anything but "easy", rather it is annoyingly painful having to wade through dozens of questions and answers for both spouses, before getting to the Charitable donations) eventually allowed me to override the "optimizer" and get the software to leave the donations where I want them. This glitch is very annoying and needs to be fixed by next year.
To the software developers, please confirm that this has been fixed before I purchase this software again.
