michaelmars Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have an appraisal for a donation, can I pdf it and send it with the return or does it have to go separately with 8453? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMalody Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 It goes with the 8453. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I had one last season (2012 return) that I attached a .pdf. Client got his refund and no IRS communication. It was maybe a $12,000 collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmars Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 chicken feed, mine is $100,000. I am confused because my software brought in the 8453 as if I had to file it but then I saw under efile attachments that I could add it. When I added it the 8453 went away as if not needed.

gfizer Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I've attached them as a PDF in the past without issue, but mine were peanuts compared to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmars Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I am gonna go with the pdf attached, worst that could happen is they ask for the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Before there was PDF, the 8453 was necessary. Now it's just an option. I don't know of a requirement for the appraisal to have a wet signature. If the IRS wants the original, they can ask for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
