Error Message Troubleshooting

In certain instances, after adding Form 8283 for Non-Cash Charitable Contributions, an error message may appear indicating that the form is still required.

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.”
