Form 8283 has two sections. If you must file Form 8283, you must complete either Section A or Section B depending on the type of property donated and the amount claimed as a deduction. Members in a pass-through entity completing their own Form 8283 should complete the same section of the Form (Section A or B)

Fill out the appropriate stock donation forms and send them to your brokerage. Follow up with the charity to make sure the donation is received. Report the stock donation when you file your taxes.
Tax-Return Filing For a donation of publicly traded stock, you do not need an appraisal, but you do need to report the donation on Section A of Form 8283.
