![8283 error message](https://kb.1040.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/8283-error-message.png)

This error occurs when the system interprets the amount entered on the **Itemized Deductions – Charitable Donations**form as an additional contribution, separate from the amount reported on Form 8283.

If the non-cash charitable contributions exceed the threshold that requires the completion of Form 8283, remove the corresponding amount from the standard Itemized **Deductions – Charitable Donations** form. To do this, change the response to the question “**Did you make any non-cash donations?**” from “**Yes**” to “**No**.”
