means test line # 40 Continued charitable contributions.

[2011]

Continued charitable contributions. Enter the amount that you will continue to contribute in the form of
cash or financial instruments to a charitable organization as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 170(c)(1)-(2).

AM I correct to assume this and every other amount ( unless specified otherwise) is to be entered as a monthly amount??

That is what our amount was-monthly. We were only allowed documented tithing, and no other charitable contributions.

Yep, monthly amount and you must have a proven track-record of giving. We had to submit 1 years worth of receipts as well as 2 years worth of tax returns reflecting the amount given.
