I donated stock to a Donor Advised Fund and need to file Form 8283. How do I attach this form?

Since the donation is for a publicly traded security, no signatures are required.  How is the form 8283 attached to electronic filling of my return? Thanks.

In  TurboTax, enter in Donations to Charity in 2021. TurboTax will create the Form 8283 based on your entries and send it with your return.

  1. Federal>deductions and credits>see all tax breaks
  2. Go to charitable donations>Donations to Charity in 2020>Start
  3. Say yes on the next screen when it asks if you made charitable donations. You will say yes. 

  4. The next screen you can add money and Mileage and travel expenses

  5. The Donor Advised Stock fund is like money so you will select Stock.

  6. Then answer the questions regarding your donor advised stock.

Individuals, partnerships, and corporations file Form 8283 to report information about noncash charitable contributions when the amount of their deduction for all noncash gifts is more than $500.
