§170(b)(1)(G)(i) as amended: "any contribution of cash to an organization described in subparagraph (A) shall be allowed as a deduction under subsection (a) to the extent that the aggregate of such contributions does not exceed the excess of-- (I) 60 percent of the taxpayer's contribution base for the taxable year, over (II) the aggregate amount of contributions taken into account under subparagraph (A)". The 5-year carryover of the excess ((G)(ii)) is a disclosed exclusion of the charitable-bunching model.
