What kinds of assets can be appraised for a charitable donation?
We appraise a wide range of donated assets, including artwork, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, vehicles, business interests, equipment, and inventory. Our appraisers have experience across many asset categories commonly donated to New Hampshire charitable organizations.
Are your charitable donation appraisals USPAP compliant?
All of our appraisals follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, which is required for IRS-qualified appraisals. USPAP compliance ensures your report will hold up to scrutiny from the IRS or any charitable organization receiving your donation.
Why would someone in New Hampshire need a charitable donation appraisal?
New Hampshire has a strong tradition of philanthropic giving, with many residents donating to local land trusts, historical societies, arts organizations, and community foundations. When a noncash donation exceeds $500, the IRS requires documentation, and donations over $5,000 generally require a qualified appraisal to support your deduction.
Can I get a charitable donation appraisal remotely if I live in New Hampshire?
Yes, AppraiseItNow offers remote and online appraisal services for clients across New Hampshire. Depending on the asset type, our appraisers can complete the work using photographs, documentation, and digital communication without requiring an in-person visit.

- Vehicles: 3 to 5 days
- Personal property and equipment: 7 to 10 days
- Artwork: 5 to 7 days for simple projects, 2 to 3 weeks for complex assignments

Who actually prepares the appraisal report?
Your report is prepared by a credentialed appraiser with relevant expertise in the asset being valued. AppraiseItNow works with qualified appraisers who meet IRS standards, including the requirement that the appraiser not be the donor, the donee, or a related party.
Are there any New Hampshire-specific rules I should know about for charitable donation appraisals?
The core requirements for charitable donation appraisals are set at the federal level by the IRS. New Hampshire donors should be aware that the state's Attorney General Charitable Trusts Unit oversees charitable organizations operating in the state, so working with a properly documented, qualified appraisal helps protect both donors and recipient organizations.
What information do I need to provide to get started?
To begin, it helps to have a description of the item or items being donated, any available provenance or purchase records, the name of the receiving organization, and the anticipated donation date. The more detail you can share upfront, the faster we can match you with the right appraiser.
Will a charitable donation appraisal from AppraiseItNow be accepted by the IRS?
Our appraisals are prepared to meet IRS qualified appraisal standards, which means they are designed to support deductions reported on IRS Form 8283 for noncash contributions. For estate-related charitable gifts, we also prepare reports suitable for IRS Form 706.
What is IRS Form 8283 and when do New Hampshire donors need it?
IRS Form 8283 is the form used to report noncash charitable contributions on your federal tax return. New Hampshire donors who contribute a single item or group of similar items valued over $500 must file this form, and donations over $5,000 require a signed qualified appraisal attached to the form.
Does the type of organization receiving my donation affect the appraisal process?
The appraisal process itself remains consistent regardless of the recipient, but the receiving organization must generally be a qualified tax-exempt entity under IRS rules for your deduction to be valid. Many New Hampshire nonprofits, including land conservation groups and arts organizations, regularly receive donated property and are familiar with the documentation process.
How soon before my donation do I need to get an appraisal?
The IRS requires that a qualified appraisal be conducted no earlier than 60 days before the donation date and no later than the due date of the tax return on which the deduction is claimed. Planning ahead ensures you have time to gather documentation and complete the appraisal before your deadline.
Can AppraiseItNow appraise donated collections or multiple items at once?
Yes, we regularly handle appraisals involving collections of artwork, antiques, collectibles, or other personal property donated as a group. We will work with you to determine whether items should be valued individually or as a collection, depending on IRS guidance and the nature of the donation.
What makes an appraiser "qualified" under IRS rules for charitable donations?
A qualified appraiser must have verifiable education and experience in valuing the type of property being donated, must not be a disqualified person relative to the transaction, and must sign the appraisal report. AppraiseItNow connects donors with appraisers who meet these specific IRS criteria for charitable contribution appraisals.
