Generating Form 8283 in ProSeries

To enter noncash contributions:

1. Open the Schedule A.
2. Scroll down to the Noncash Contributions Smart Worksheet above line 12.
3. In the expanding table, enter each charity and the donation amounts.
4. To enter additional information, double-click the name of the charity to access the noncash Contributions Worksheet.

ProSeries will automatically generate a 8283 for each transaction that is required to file one.

Attaching PDFs to the e-filed return:

Some conditions on the 8283 may require you to attach a PDF of the 1098-C, appraisal or other supporting documents. These can be attached to the e-filed return as PDF attachments:

1. Open the client's return.
2. From the E-File menu, select Attach PDF Files.
3. Click Add Attachment and browse to the PDF you need to attach.
4. Select the PDF and click Open to begin the attachment process.
5. In the Type column select the correct F8283 option that describes your attachment.
6. Click OK to finish attaching the PDF.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 for any additional attachments needed.
8. Once successfully attached, the EF Center will show a paper clip icon next to the return. This means the PDF will be transmitted with the return when you e-file.
