conservation easement contribution

I have TurboTax Deluxe. It is not letting me enter information directly on Form 8283. In easy step, I don't an option to enter this.

Can anyone provide any guidance on where to enter the information and how - step by step?

Thanks

A conservation easement contribution is a "Charitable Donation" (non-cash).

Enter it in the Charitable Donation interview as an "Other Intangible item" (see attached sample screenshot).

The answers to the interview will generate Form 8283.

Thanks Todd but I don't see this as an option in Turbotax Deluxe. Do I need to upgrade to something else or is it available in Deluxe as well?

It is an option in TurboTax Deluxe.

Enter "donation" in the Search window and select "Go to Donations" from the Search Results.

See the attached screens. My online account is for Self-Employed, but the same screen shows up in Deluxe.
