Return Rejected - Form 8283 must be attached
Hello,
I have Turbotax Premier Windows Desktop. I made noncash donations to the same Charity (goodwill). I have 5 different donation dates, none individually over 500, but all together totaling over 500.
I submitted my return and it was rejected with this error:
"If Schedule A (Form 1040), 'OtherThanByCashOrCheckAmt" is greater than 500, then Form 8283 must be attached. This Return Cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on January 31st, 2026. On or after this date, open the rejected return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing."
When I open forms, I don't see an 8283. I do see inidivual "Contrib Wks (Goodwill...), and a charity contrib. When I try to open 8283, I do see an existing Form 8283, "Form 8283 (Form 8283, Copy 1). When I open this up, the form is blank.
FYI - as I was filling out my donation, I initially lumped them together, but then realized I should break them apart. When it was lumped it had asked me additional questions about purchase value. When I broke them a part this screen did not appear.
Questions:
1. Is this an error with TurboTax or IRS? Do I need 8283?
2. In theory, do I just need to wait for TurboTax to update their system?
Anything I'm missing?
