Yeah, I've seen that too. I'm thinking it might be the preferred method for those, and Comparative Sales might be locked in
They changed the Interview this year for entering stock donations, and I looked at my 8283 for a number of prior years where the interview was different, and since 2019, they always said Comparative Sales.
Those prior years they had an entirely separate selection for stock donations (i.e., you didn't go into the "Items" section to enter it), and the interview (at least since 2019) didn't even ask for the valuation method. I just entered a stock donation again in my 2021 Desktop software in a test file....the interview doesn't ask for the valuation method and the 8283 automatically uses Comparative Sales..... Never been questioned before.....so maybe it's right. (I guess, in a way...Comparative Sales in the stock market on the date you donated)
