Answer revised on 3/15/19:
I reported the fact that Turbotax sometimes failed to print form 8283 on Feb 18, 2019.
In my case it occured if there was a restriction that required an explanation statement to be attached.
The form could only be printed if I indicated that there is no restriction (which might be improper
and might cause IRS to be concerned that a significant restriction was not disclosed)
Two representatives tried to close out the trouble report without resolving the problem.
I asked that the problem be escalated and resolved properly.
Intuit TT addressed this issue in:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4629540-why-can-t-i-print-noncash-charitable-contributions-form-82...That article originally said the problem was expected to be fixed on 3/8/2019. There was a minor update on
that date, but no release note description, and more importantly no fix to the 8283 printing problem
that I had reported. As noted by @epo39b, a revised version of that article said a fix was expected 3/15/19,
and it has now been further revised to say the problem is resolved with a 3/15/19 update.
I have verified that my problem in printing Form 8283 with a restriction explanation is now resolved.
If you still have problems make sure you have the latest updates. Also keep in mind that Form
8283 does not need to be printed if you are taking a standard deduction and don't need
details about itemized deductions that are less than the standard deduction.
