Who prepares the appraisal report?

Our reports are prepared by qualified appraisers who meet the IRS definition under IRC Section 170, including education, credentials, and experience requirements. Each appraiser signs the declaration in Part IV of IRS Form 8283, confirming their independence and qualifications.

Are there any New York state rules that affect IRS Form 8283 appraisals?

No additional New York state requirements apply beyond the federal rules governing IRS Form 8283 under IRC Section 170. New York's state tax deductions for charitable contributions conform to federal standards, so the qualified appraisal requirements are determined entirely by IRS rules.

What information do I need to provide to get started?

To begin, it helps to have a description of the asset, its acquisition date and method, your cost basis, and any existing documentation such as purchase receipts or prior appraisals. The more detail you can provide upfront, the smoother and faster the appraisal process will be.

Will an IRS Form 8283 appraisal from AppraiseItNow be accepted by the IRS?

Does donating through an LLC in New York affect how IRS Form 8283 is filed?

Yes, and this became more complex with the December 2025 revision to IRS Form 8283, effective for 2026 filings. Pass-through entities like LLCs must now file separate Forms 8283 for each interest holder rather than a single form, which increases the filing burden for New York partnerships holding assets in urban markets.

Can a single appraisal cover multiple donated items on IRS Form 8283?

One qualified appraisal can cover multiple similar low-value items if their collective value is $100 or less per group, which is useful for New York donors contributing collections like rare books to charities. For distinct items or higher-value groups, separate appraisals are required to satisfy IRS Form 8283 Section B requirements.

What happens if a New York charity disposes of donated property within three years?

If a donee organization disposes of the property within three years, it must file IRS Form 8282 with the IRS and send a copy to the original donor, but this does not change the donor's original IRS Form 8283 filing. The donor's deduction remains subject to IRS review based on the appraisal completed at the time of the gift.

What are the timing rules for a qualified appraisal supporting an IRS Form 8283 claim?

The appraisal must be dated no earlier than 60 days before the donation and must be completed before the due date, including extensions, of the tax return on which you claim the deduction. For New York filers, meeting this window is essential to ensure IRS Form 8283 is properly supported when submitted with your return.

Does donating art to a major New York institution like a museum require anything beyond standard IRS Form 8283 rules?

No unique documentation requirements apply beyond the standard federal rules, even for donations to prominent institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That said, high-value art donations to well-known New York institutions tend to attract closer IRS scrutiny, making a thorough and well-documented qualified appraisal especially important.

What details must a New York appraisal include to avoid IRS rejection on Form 8283?

The appraisal must include precise fair market value, the donor's basis and acquisition method, and the appraiser's taxpayer identification number. Incomplete basis information or missing TINs have led to IRS disallowances, so accuracy and completeness in every field of IRS Form 8283 are critical.
