What happens when the taxpayer's contribution exceeds the allowable limits?

I have exceeded the contribution limits, does this mean I cannot take any further deductions?

Thanks...

The excess contributions are carried over to following years and would be again subject to allowable limits as discussed earlier, that is the 50% or 30% of the AGI limit depending on the type of the donation and the nature of the non-profit organization.


Please also refer to the following articles that provide a further discussion on the allowable AGI limits.
