Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions

Donate property instead of cash, more than $500 of it in a year, and Form 8283 must ride along with your return. It documents what you gave, to whom, and how you valued it.

What is 8283?

Form 8283 substantiates noncash charitable deductions. Section A covers property valued up to $5,000: household goods, clothing, vehicles, publicly traded securities. Section B handles items or groups over $5,000, which generally require a qualified appraisal and signatures from both the appraiser and the receiving charity.

It attaches to a return that itemizes deductions on Schedule A; without itemizing, noncash gifts do not reduce your tax.

Who files 8283?

Itemizers whose total noncash donations exceed $500 for the year
Donors of vehicles, boats, or aircraft, together with the charity’s Form 1098-C
Anyone giving property worth over $5,000, with a qualified appraisal
C corporations and partnerships with qualifying property gifts
