Donation of securities 8283 -- "how acquired by donor"
Hello --
I donated three securities this year -- two were given to me in 1986 as a bar mitzvah present (yes, I'm old), and one was given last year by relatives as a gift. For each we have listed the appropriate basis. However, column (f) in each row asks "How acquired by donor." In the Form 8283 that Turbotax (desktop) generates, it is listed as "Purchase." However, these were gifted. At no point does Turbotax ask how these items were acquired. Is there a way to change this answer? The worksheet form doesn't seem to provide this information either. Thanks.
