Fidelity Charitable generates their own 8283 for clients to use. They leave blank 1) Date acquired 2) How acquired 3) Donor's Cost or adjusted basis. They only show A) Date of Contribution, B) Fair Market Value, and C) for Method used to determine FMV they write: Treasury Regulation #20.2031-2. Turbo will NOT allow these to be blank, even though the IRS only requires the Date and FMV for donated stocks. It doesn't appear Turbo even allows one to do this manually. We are planning to donate stock that my wife bought in bits years ago, starting in the early 80's for 30 or so years. She no longer has most of those records, and if we donate them we really don't need them. Not sure how to proceed.
