Situation
1040, Schedule A and Form 8283 Non-cash Contributions Data Entry. How do I enter Non-cash Contributions?
Solution
Non-cash contributions are no longer entered directly on Form 8283, the program completes Form 8283 automatically when necessary. A new Non-cash Contributions Smart Worksheet has been added to Schedule A. This Smart Worksheet will accept an unlimited number of entries for non-cash contributions right on Schedule A. Entering directly on the Non-cash Contributions Smart Worksheet will result in the automatic generation of a Form 8283 when necessary.
Most non-cash contributions will only require an entry on the new Non-cash Contributions Smart Worksheet. A few non-cash contributions may require entry of some additional information not contained in the Smart Worksheet on Schedule A. To enter additional information for a non-cash contribution, double-click the name of the charity to access the Non-cash Contributions Worksheet.
