This was a a donation of appreciated stock with a value over $10,000. The EasyStep interview form for a stock donation asks for the date of the donation, the stock symbol, the value on the date of the donation, the date I acquired the investment, and the cost basis. Then TurboTax fills that information into Part III on a Noncash Contribution Worksheet, but it fills in "Comparative sales" as the method used to determine the fair market valuer on line 7, which then ends up getting copied to the generated Form 8283.
