Common confusion points

Appraisal vs. valuation

Some donors think a receipt is enough

→ Verify a qualified appraisal is attached

$5,000 threshold

Donors misapply per‑item vs. total rule

→ Check each item’s value individually

Electronic filing

Users assume they can upload 8283‑V

→ Keep the paper copy for audit

Signature requirement

Hand‑written signature vs. typed name

→ Ensure a physical signature appears

PTIN necessity

Some think PTIN is optional

→ Confirm the appraiser’s PTIN is on the form

Multiple appraisals

Donating several high‑value items

→ Use separate 8283‑V sheets for each item

Form edition

Using an older 2023 version

→ Verify edition date on the form
