Add 'NonTaxable' checkbox in More Options in Charity Expense and Custom Expense

Gifting appreciated stock to children (or others) via Custom Expense or to a QCD via Charity Expense or Custom Expense needs to have a NonTaxable checkbox added into More Options. Presently PL considers these giftings as LTGC when they are outright transfers and nontaxable.

    Yeah, this would be great to have! We leverage a donor-advised fund and only donate long-term appreciated assets (in-kind). These donations are tax-free (plus a deduction), but it doesn’t look like there’s any way to model it in PL; the LTCG are always applied as if the asset was sold prior to being donated.

    I also want to model gifting appreciated stock, but it is more complex to support fully than just having a “non taxable” box added, I believe. If the gift is to a qualified non-profit, then it is tax deductible up to certain limits for the year, and any excess above the limit gets carried forward as a tax deduction for future years.

    Also, the adjustment to the cost basis of the account would ideally be customized. I am typically gifting assets with a low cost basis, so ideally I could specify the cost basis for the asset, so the account’s cost basis could reset accurately.

    I am not sure if this should all be one feature. Perhaps a cost-basis adjustment transaction would be helpful for other reasons? Maybe this should be split up? I welcome ideas!
