Donee Information Return(p14)

If an organization receives charitable deduction property and within 3 years sells, exchanges, or otherwise disposes of the property, the organization must file Form 8282, Donee Information Return. However, an organization is not required to file Form 8282 if:

• The property is valued at $500 or less, or
• The property is consumed or distributed for charitable purposes.

Form 8282 must be filed with the IRS within 125 days after the disposition. Additionally, a copy of Form 8282 must be given to the previous donor. If the organization fails to file the required information return, penalties may apply.

This is any property (other than money or publicly traded securities) for which the donee organization signed an appraisal summary or Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions.

These are securities for which market quotations are readily available on an established securities market as of the date of the contribution.

If the value of the donated property exceeds $5,000, the donor must get a qualified appraisal for contributions of property, see the Exceptions. below.

A written appraisal is not needed if the property is:

• Nonpublicly traded stock of $10,000 or less,
• A vehicle (including a car, boat, or airplane) donated after 2004 if your deduction for the vehicle is limited to the gross proceeds from its sale,
• Intellectual property donated after June 3, 2004,
• Certain securities considered to have market quotations readily available (see Regulations section 1.170A-13(c)(7)(xi)(B)),
• Inventory and other property donated by a corporation that are qualified contributions for the care of the ill, the needy, or infants, within the meaning of section 170(e)(3)(A), or
• Any donation of stock in trade, inventory, or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of your trade or business.

The donee organization is not a qualified appraiser for the purpose of valuing the donated property. For more information, get Publication 561, Determining the Value of Donated Property.

For noncash donations over $5,000, the donor must attach Form 8283 to the tax return to support the charitable deduction. The donee must sign Part IV of Section B, Form 8283 unless publicly traded securities are donated. The person who signs for the donee must be an official authorized to sign the donee's tax or information returns, or a person specifically authorized to sign by that official. The signature does not represent concurrence in the appraised value of the contributed property. A signed acknowledgment represents receipt of the property described on Form 8283 on the date specified on the form. The signature also indicates knowledge of the information reporting requirements on dispositions, as previously discussed. A copy of Form 8283 must be given to the donee.
