Body: <p>I have some contributions that were incorrectly assigned to a &quot;non-deductible&quot; Financial Type. I have assigned one of them to the correct &quot;deductible&quot; Financial Type. When I save the changes, the contribution is updated with the new Financial Type, but I get the following message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Non-deductible amount</strong>
  You've changed the financial type for this $500.00 contribution from non-tax deductible to tax deductible, but the non-deductible amount of $500.00 has not been changed. This could prevent a tax receipt from being issued correctly. <em>You may want to edit the non-deductible amount.</em> <em>[emphasis added]</em></p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>But unfortunately the &quot;Non-deductible Amount&quot; in the &quot;Additional Details&quot; section of the edit dialog is <strong>not</strong> editable:
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/Apt4K78J.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Apt4K78J.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>So how can this be edited? In this case, the entire $500 amount should be &quot;deductible.&quot;</p>
  <p>I'd like to be able to do this via the UI, but I could also use a solution using either API calls or a SQL update. Thanks!</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-11-21)
  
  I have some contributions that were incorrectly assigned to a "non-deductible" Financial Type. I have assigned one of them to the correct "deductible" Financial Type. When I save the changes, the contribution is updated with the new Financial Type, but I get the following message:
  
  > **Non-deductible amount**
  > You've changed the financial type for this $500.00 contribution from non-tax deductible to tax deductible, but the non-deductible amount of $500.00 has not been changed. This could prevent a tax receipt from being issued correctly. *You may want to edit the non-deductible amount.* *[emphasis added]*
  
  But unfortunately the "Non-deductible Amount" in the "Additional Details" section of the edit dialog is **not** editable:
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/Apt4K78J.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/Apt4K78J.png)
  
  So how can this be edited? In this case, the entire $500 amount should be "deductible."
  
  I'd like to be able to do this via the UI, but I could also use a solution using either API calls or a SQL update. Thanks!

  Yes, exactly, it's the line items you'd need to edit. The financial type of the contribution as a whole is a legacy concept that doesn't do much, especially in terms of tax deductibility.
  
  The line item editor extension is probably exactly what you want.
  
  Of course, you may discover new issues when you try it, since the bookkeeping stuff in CiviCRM is full of surprises!
