@monumentgirl If you enter your Charitable Donations in your Federal Return (even if you are not itemizing), TurboTax should generate form 8283 for you.
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can fill out the form yourself using FORMS mode and asking for Form 8283 in 'Open Form'.
Others have suggested switching to 'Itemized' to generate the form and then switching back to 'Standard' to file.
