Forms and filing

Form 8283 Section B

The part of Form 8283 for donations over $5,000, requiring a qualified appraisal, an appraiser declaration, and the donee's signed acknowledgement.

Section B applies where the claimed deduction for an item, or a group of similar items, is more than $5,000. It requires a written qualified appraisal by a qualified appraiser.

It also requires the charity to sign. The instructions state that "The donee organization that received the property described in Part I of Section B must complete and sign the Donee Acknowledgment in Part V", and that "After completing Part V, the organization must return Form 8283 to you, the donor."

Section B is also the route for contributions where conditions were placed on the use of the property, or where you gave less than an entire interest, when the contribution was for more than $5,000.
