Is there a known TurboTax software issue with the 8230 form? I am required to submit (donation more than $500) but TurboTax isn’t generating and attaching the form.

My return was rejected and fixing the issue within TurboTax still doesn’t generate the required 8230 form. I did not have this issue last year.

TurboTax has recently completed an update.  If you are using TurboTax Online, please try again.  If you are using desktop software, ensure you have performed the latest update or manually update. Here are detailed instructions if needed: Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software

I cannot file either.   I am using Turbotax online.   Customer service on phone is unable to say one way or other.

I think you're referring to Form 8283 for charitable donations in excess of $500.

I do have form 8283 in the Online version.

 I have posted it, and

• I can identify it in records to be deleted.
• If you re-boot TurboTax online it will update.

Form 8283, noncash charitable contributions, is completed and has been rolled out.

 Under Federal

1. Select Deductions and Credits
2. Scroll to Donations & Charities [Add/Edit]
3. Follow the interview.

See TurboTax article What Is the IRS Form 8283?

How do you "re-boot" Turbotax online version?

I’m using the online version and it still isn’t working. I followed the instructions to “repair” but when I review the forms before submitting Form 8283 is not included in the package.

This is now fixed but you will need to follow these steps to generate the form and/or fix your rejection:

1. Sign in to your TurboTax Online account and select Fix my return.
2. Select Federal from the left menu, then Deductions & Credits.
3. Scroll down to Charitable Donations and select Revisit next to Donations to Charity in 2025.
4. You must review each non-cash donation entry. For any donation or group of similar items over $500, ensure you have provided:
5. The organization's name and address.
6. A description of the property.
7. The date you acquired it and how (e.g., purchase, gift).
8. Your cost or basis and the Fair Market Value (FMV).
9. Once you provide these details, TurboTax will automatically generate Form 8283.

If the form still does not appear in your Tax Summary:

1. Go to Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a form.
2. Check if there is a "ghost" Form 8283 or Charitable Contribution Worksheet that is blank. Delete it.
3. Go back to the Donations section and re-enter the details for the specific high-value items. This forces the software to re-trigger the form creation.
4. Once corrected, proceed to the File section to resubmit your federal return.

Wow.  After using TT for more than 20 years, this is the biggest "not-ready-for-prime-time" edition I've encountered.  Turbo Tax Deluxe Desktop has same issue as above (IRS rejected return for TT not generating Form 8283 for non-cash donations over $500), even after installing latest update upon logon.  [The 22 Dec manual update supposedly wasn't needed, as it was automatically installed when the program was bought in Jan.]  The prompts alluded to for TT Online are not coming up in TT Desktop.  What's the real fix for Desktop? 

Separate issue:  As of 3 days ago, clicking on ? for more info about SALT gave previous years' Help statement about SALT being limited to $10,000.  Calculations in the program reflected correct $40,000 limit, but Help and More Info links are/were outdated.
