Can I e-file Form 8283?

If your total noncash donations are $5,000 or more for a single item or group of similar items, you can't e-file your tax return, which includes Form 8283.

Starting in tax year 2024, the IRS has indicated that if Form 8283 has a noncash donation where the donee's name is listed and the appraised value is $5,000 or more for an item or group of similar items, then the return must be mailed in with an acknowledgment from the donee. Follow the steps here to print and file your tax return.

If your total noncash donations are under $5,000 and don't require a signed appraisal, you should still be able to e-file your tax return unless another exception applies. Follow the steps here to e-file your tax return.

However, if your noncash donations are over $500, but less than $5,000, and you're e-filing your return, you'll need to mail 8283 separately to the IRS along with Form 8453.
