Form 8283 Made Simple

By The Let's Deduct! Team

When you need Form 8283

If you donate noncash items worth more than $500 in a year, the IRS requires Form 8283 with your return.

How Let's Deduct! helps

From the dashboard Actions menu, choose Form 8283. We automatically:

  • Group your items by charity
  • Split entries into Section A ($500 or less) and Section B (over $500)
  • Pre-fill descriptions, dates, and values

Before you file

  • Confirm each charity's EIN in the Charities lookup.
  • For items over $5,000, a qualified appraisal is generally required.
  • Print, sign, and attach the form to your return.

That's one less form to fear this season.
