@DanCaveman @RickPDX @MZUNIPEG67 I have spoken to 3 different customer service reps today (none of which really seemed to be aware of the issue) and the last one I just spoke with stated that the TurboTax online version will not be ready with the form until 2/6 now. 

Today's 2025 Turbotax Premier update resulted in 2 Forms 8283 being generated with all of my charitable contributions listed, including those less than $500, just as in past years.   However, the method used to determine the fair market value is still incorrect.  On the Charitable Contribution Details Worksheets, the method is listed as Average Share rather than Average share price.  Average Share isn't one of the drop-down list choices which is probably why it's displayed in red.  When I change it to Average share price, this change doesn't propagate to the Noncash Contributions Worksheets or to the Forms 8283 which both still list the default method, Comparative sales.  This correction doesn't propagate up to EasyStep which then has no method selected.  When I again select Average share price, all of the worksheets and forms are again incorrect, so I don't see how I can fix this.

Problem with this still exists...doesn't ask for the information when filling out the form data but flags it in final check as a error if you had state tax withheld as "State tax withholds should not exceed State distributions".  

If the IRS is reviewing your return, they may have questions about your wages and withholding, or credits or expenses shown on your tax return, or your return may have been selected for random review. It doesn't necessarily mean there was a discrepancy.    See this IRS webpage for additional information. They ask that taxpayers wait 60 days before contacting them to follow up.  

Thanks for your reply and the new information Patricia.  While the additional delay is disappointing and problematic, I understand unexpected delays can occur.  However, what I cannot fathom or condone is the false and misleading information provided by Intuit regarding this delay.  Intuit had to know before today that this form and the related functionality would not be "ready by February, but likely sooner" as noted in the message on application.  Even after the update this morning the erroneous message remains the same.   It appears that many others are also waiting on this remaining component to complete and file their returns.  Without accurate and timely information we can not effectively plan around the delay.  This lack of communication is simply poor customer relations and service.

Yes that's true it doesn't ask for the information when filling in the CSA 1099R but it still flags it as an error on the final check if you had State tax withheld as "State tax withheld should not exceed the State distribution amount". (non-existent box 16 A information) At least that's what 2025 Desktop Premier is currently doing.

Here are the steps to enter your K-1 in TurboTax Online, according to Where do I enter a Schedule K-1 that I received?   "Go to the K-1 screen under Wages & Income. On the Schedules K-1 or Q page, select Yes. On the Did you receive any Schedules K-1? page, select Yes. Select Start next to the type of Schedule K-1 form you have, and enter your information."

@JoeC_4 the 8283 issue is supposed to be fixed on desktop with the s/w release this morning, make sure you have the latest update.  Believe the form was not being included in returns for filing with donations above $500.  Online was still having some issue that should be fixed in early this week according to earlier posts.   As for the $30 to use an app if you're referring to Deductible Duck for example - note the import into TT is only a partial solution, you have to go through and review all the items and add some details not supported by the TXF format, see instructions below.  For TT Online it creates problems with e-file.   Turbotax is apparently developing some tool to provide FMV on donations but unclear when it will be implemented but saw comments about Feb/Mar timeframe.  I don't think I'd wait on it for 2025 though - but if it's useful for 2026 this may curtail the usefulness of some of these 3rd party apps unless you really need the year-round input and they fix the import.   https://deductibleduck.com/docs/how-to-guides/import-turbotax-win-mac-desktop https://deductibleduck.com/docs/how-to-guides/import-turbotax-online IMPORTANT: TurboTax ONLINE has a major limitation with Deductible Duck During our final testing after TurboTax released their 2025 versions, we discovered that TurboTax Online won't allow you to import a TXF file OR attach any supporting documentation for e-filing. If you use TurboTax ONLINE with Deductible Duck, you'll have to print and mail your return.
