Form 8283 is missing several charitable contributions

I have entered 7 charitable contributions in 2025 Turbotax Premier desktop.  Each has a correct Charitable Organization Worksheet and all are listed on the Charitable Contributions Summary.  However, only 2 of these contributions have been entered on only 1 Form 8283.  I need to file 2 Form 8283's to describe all 7 of my charitable contributions.  I need to file my tax returns by 5 February and want to do so electronically.

 

How can I force Turbotax to generate 2 Form 8283's with all 7 charitable contributions entered?

Form 8283 is missing several charitable contributions

Apparently, the IRS no longer requires capital gain property contributions to charitable organizations of less than $500 to be reported on Form 8283 unlike in previous years.  My missing contributions are each less than $500, so the Form 8283 generated by Turbotax is correct in this respect.

 

However, the method used to determine the fair market value printed on Form 8283, Comparative Sales, is incorrect.  I specified Average Share Price in Turbotax which is correctly transferred to the Charitable Organization Worksheets but not to Form 8283.

Form 8283 is missing several charitable contributions

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.

Some of this might be left over from prior to the update. 

 

I would start by deleting any form or worksheet for the 8283.

  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.

Then, 

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