## Facts

### What Is Form 8283 Used For?

Form 8283 is used to report noncash charitable contributions, such as donated property when the deduction exceeds $500.** **It helps the IRS track and verify fair market value claims for donated assets. However, note that it does not calculate deductions or include cash donations, which are treated separately.

### Who Should Use Form 8283?

Individuals, partnerships, S corporations, and most corporations** **must file Form 8283 if they claim more than $500 in noncash charitable contributions. It also applies when similar donated items exceed $500 in total value, even if given to multiple organizations.

Note that C corporations follow different rules for charitable contribution deductions and should verify applicable thresholds and limitations in the Form 8283 instructions.

### When Is Form 8283 Due?

Form 8283 due date is the same as for the federal tax return for the year the contribution is made. For deductions carried over to subsequent years under IRC Section 170(d), the carryover amount is tracked on the tax return without requiring a new Form 8283.

### What Happens If Form 8283 Is Not Submitted?

If Form 8283 is not submitted, the IRS may deny your deduction for noncash contributions. This can increase taxable income and may trigger penalties or delays during review, especially if required appraisal documentation is missing.

### How and Where Do I File Form 8283?

You should attach your Form 8283 directly to your federal tax return. It can be filed electronically with IRS-approved software or included as a PDF attachment when e-filing. Paper filers attach Form 8283 directly to their mailed tax return. E-filers who have supporting documents that cannot be submitted electronically may need to mail them separately using Form 8453.
