AppraiseItNow did an excellent job appraising our unique art collection. Joe was always prompt and responsive, and he and his team delivered a thorough, well-supported appraisal in just a couple of weeks, even during the holiday season. I was genuinely impressed. Thank you for the great work!

10 Stars!! Joe was a pleasure to work with. Answered all my questions with incredible patience. Payment was swift and they got started immediately and the turn around time was much sooner than I expected. (I was on a time crunch and they got it done for me incredibly fast!) And the best part was the appraisal was even more than what I was expecting. And everything I need was sent to my email. Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone needing an appraisal!

We recently used AppraiseItNow for one of our clients and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The customer service was excellent, and Joe was quick to respond to all of our questions. He provided everything we needed promptly and made the process smooth from start to finish. Thank you!

I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.

The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.

These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.

It is a pleasure to work with Joe and his team. They communicate every step along the way and made the process simple for us to have more than 35 firearms appraised. It was all done in a timely manner and the final report is easy to understand. I highly recommend their services.

I was very happy with the work put in on my totaled car appraisal. They did the appraisal quickly and VERY thoroughly. I felt like my insurance company gave a very low appraisal and Appraise It Now was very competitive, realistic and true to my expectations. The best part was they did a stellar job negotiating with my insurance company. I feel great about their work.

Frequently Asked
Questions

No Frequently Asked Questions Found.

What is IRS Form 8283?

IRS Form 8283 serves as a critical document for taxpayers who make substantial non-cash charitable donations. This specialized tax form enables individuals and organizations to accurately report property contributions to charitable organizations, ensuring proper documentation of charitable giving and potential tax deductions. The form becomes particularly important when donations exceed $500, requiring detailed information about the donated property, its fair market value, and the receiving charitable organization. By providing a structured method for reporting charitable contributions, Form 8283 helps taxpayers maintain transparency with the Internal Revenue Service while supporting their ability to claim appropriate tax deductions for philanthropic efforts.

Why do I need an appraisal for IRS Form 8283?

Navigating the complexities of charitable donations requires a clear understanding of IRS documentation and valuation requirements. When donating non-cash items valued over $500, taxpayers must provide a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the property's value through IRS Form 8283. A professional appraisal becomes critical in this process, serving multiple essential functions beyond simple documentation.

An independent appraisal provides an objective, credible valuation that meets strict IRS guidelines. This detailed assessment examines the item's condition, market comparables, and intrinsic characteristics to determine its fair market value. By obtaining a professional evaluation, donors create a robust defense against potential audit scrutiny and ensure they're accurately representing their charitable contributions.

The appraisal serves multiple critical purposes. It helps taxpayers comply with IRS regulations, prevents potential penalties from misreporting, and provides transparency for both donors and receiving charitable organizations. Different types of property—whether artwork, vehicles, real estate, or other significant assets—often require specialized valuation approaches that a qualified appraiser can expertly navigate.

Beyond regulatory compliance, a well-documented appraisal supports the broader mission of charitable giving. It allows non-profit organizations to accurately record and understand the true value of in-kind donations, enhancing their financial reporting and demonstrating the tangible impact of charitable contributions.

Most importantly, a professional appraisal protects the donor's interests. It provides a credible, independent assessment that can withstand potential IRS review, giving taxpayers confidence in their charitable deduction claims. By investing in a thorough, professional valuation, donors can ensure their generosity is both recognized and properly documented.
