I filled out the info for cash and non cash contributions. I also take the standard deduction, so the federal return doesnt use that information. When I print out all the federal forms, it does not print any 8283. On the form section of the federal return where it shows what forms are used, there is no 8283.
Question 1: For my CA state return, I itemize and it includes schedule A of my federal return. Schedule A states that if the amount of non cash contributions exceed $500, then form 8283 must be included. So it seems I need to include form 8283. Is this correct?
Question 2: Even though I use the standard deduction, I can carryover the unused charitable contributions to the following tax years and once the sum exceeds my standard deduction, I can itemize. So it seems I need to include form 8283 to establish a record of my carryover for the future.
Bottom line - how do I force turbotax to include form 8283 in the federal return if I take the standard deduction?
