I am taking the standard deduction, my donations are greater than $500, and I need to submit the 8283 form with my California state taxes. The only way I was able to generate the form was to change to itemized deductions, open and print the 8283 form, and then change back to the standard deductions. Your system should generate the 8283 regardless of how I take deductions Since California franchise tax board requires the form of the donations are more than $500, which ours are. My federal taxes are filed with standard deductions and the California state taxes are itemized.
Also, the form only shows in the open forms list if you itemize deductions.
