Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I don't think you need a token number since I verified the problem in my copy of Turbotax.
Updated workaround that will work with both the desktop and online versions.
Use a fake SSN (or your own SSN) to get past the error and finish your return. Do not e-file. Instead, select "Print and file by mail." After printing your tax return package, remove the copy of form 8283 with the wrong SSN and replace it with the original form 8283 that you had signed by the charity official and the appraiser. Mail everything to the IRS address that was printed on the instruction page. (You may want to use a mail or express service that has tracking and proof of delivery.)
(Because remember, you must always send the IRS an original form 8283 signed by the charity and the appraiser, even if you e-file. So you should have that form now or you need to print a blank form, fill it out, and get it signed by both other parties.)
If the programmers accept this as an error and agree to change it, I suspect it will be several weeks, depending on how much in a hurry you are to file.
