What to do since my filing deadline is 1/31/2025 but Turbo Tax says form 8283 being changed and won't be available until 2/6/2025?

We pay quarterly estimates but didn't pay the Q4 estimate on 1/15/2025 since we always complete our filing and pay the final amount due by January 31st. Form 8283 is for Noncash Charitable Contribution.

you would have to complete form 8283 manually and make sure the results are accurately reflected in your 1040.

next step is to complete form 8453 in TurboTax. you check off the box for the 8283

you can then e-file your return.

you'll need to print out the 8453 and mail it and the 8283 according to 8453 mailing instructions

 

 

the only other choice is to do your return using a different app. Don't know if the delay is on the part of Turbotax or the IRS finalizing the form

Thank you for the direction you provided, it’s much appreciated.

 

Unfortunately Turbo Tax gave me no option to self-generate Form 8453.  I tried searching in Turbo Tax and the only information I was getting was that the form would generate automatically if Turbo Tax deemed it necessary.

 

I did the manual Form 8283 from the IRS website, printed a copy of my Turbo Tax return since all the numbers were final, and sent the finalized 1040 pages and schedules, the manual Form 8283, and W-2 copies to the IRS via FedEx to meet the deadline.

It appears that the IRS has not yet released this form for 2024.  An option might have been to file without reporting the charitable contribution, pay the higher tax liability determined on your tax return, then later amend to add the charitable contribution and claim a refund.  Unfortunately, doing so ties up the funds that you would eventually get back as a refund without earning any interest.

 

Probably simpler to just make an estimated tax payment now and file a complete tax return when the form becomes available.  When you eventually file, I would tell TurboTax to allow the IRS to calculate and bill for the penalty (preventing TurboTax from calculating a penalty).  IT seems that the IRS sometimes applies a grace period to payments, so they might not bill for any penalty.

Your suggestion doesnt work, Turbotax wont allow it to file without the 8283. Please provide this form ASAP!!!!
