IRS Form 8283 is a required form for tax filing if an individual has made a charitable contribution worth more than $5,000 in goods or services. It is required to be submitted with your taxes for the year in which you made the donation. It must be completed and signed by both the charity and the donor, and it requires an appraisal for the items that have been donated. Form 8283 is also used by attorneys, CPAs, and estate planners as documentation for tax-deductible donations of non-cash items. This form will ask for details about the donated items, such as the name of the charity, its purpose, description and fair market value of the items donated, date of donation, your signature, and the appraiser's signature. With Form 8283, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can verify that you made a charitable contribution and can accurately calculate your tax deduction.
