2024 charitable donations

[hanovek50]

Turbo Tax is preventing me from e-filing, stating something needs a signature, I believe it has something to do with my charitable donations to Salvation army, this has never been an issue before, and I have no idea how to fix this

If your return is being rejected with a message saying "You have an entry on Form 8283, Donee Acknowledgement which required a donee's signature, electronic attachment is not supported," you will need to print out and mail your tax return.

The taxing agency has implemented new standards for 2024 tax returns that essentially says if Form 8382 has a noncash donation where the donee is listed, then the form must be signed.

Please follow the steps here to print and file your tax return.

this did not answer my question, that being if what you're saying is true, the IRS will send the donation sheet to the charity?, who does this, nothing is clearly spelled out, just send it in blank?....no one seems to know??

The form needs to be signed.

NOTE TO DONOR: If you make a donation of property for which you wish to claim a charitable deduction of $500 or more, the Internal Revenue Service requires you to file IRS Form 8283 “Noncash Charitable Contributions.” If you plan to claim a deduction for that donation or a donation of a group of similar property of more than $5,000, and you wish The Salvation Army to execute Part IV "Donee Acknowledgement" of Form 8283 as the donee organization, you must present that Form 8283 for execution at the time of the donation. The Salvation Army will not be able to execute such forms at any time thereafter if the donated property cannot be traced. If, within three years of the date of donation, The Salvation Army disposes of any item of property which you identified as having a value of more than $500 on a Form 8283 signed by The Salvation Army, The Salvation Army may be required to file an IRS Form 8282 with the IRS and send a copy to you. For more information, consult your tax advisor or visit the Internal Revenue Service web site, www.IRS.
