For a land donation, you must have Form 8283 and appraisal, the IRS will not allow your deduction.
After you E-File your Tax Return, you will need to mail in Form 8453 with your Form 8283 and related documentation, including your appraisal and deed. TurboTax will include this in your E-file instructions.
Here's where to enter the donation:
Manually enter your charitable donations directly into TurboTax:
- Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
- In the search box, search for donations and then select the "Jump to" link in the search results.
- Answer Yes to Did you make any donations to charity?
- Answer No to Do you have an account with ItsDeductible Online?
- On the next screen, answer Yes to enter your donations for 2018.
- Continue with the onscreen instructions.
