IRS Form 8283 is required to be filed by individuals, partnerships, and corporations who have made non-cash charitable contributions exceeding $500 in value. This includes contributions of cryptocurrencies and securities. If your crypto contribution was valued at over $5,000, you would need to obtain a qualified appraisal as per IRS requirements.
Filing an IRS Form 8283 is a standard procedure supported by most popular tax filing software. However, it's always best to consult with a certified tax professional to understand your specific situation.
Now, you might be wondering, where does Daffy fit into all of this? Daffy is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) that allows you to make non-cash contributions such as cryptocurrencies and securities. One of the great advantages of using Daffy is that you don't need to worry about capital gains taxes for any assets that you contributed and were sold.
However, it's important to note that donations to charities from a DAF like Daffy do not qualify for a tax deduction. But don't let that deter you. Daffy is a fantastic option for a DAF, especially if you're looking to contribute non-cash assets.
