Yeah, it's hard to know, and even harder if an organization's practices don't allow confidence that someone somewhere in the organization might not have signed an 8283.

On the other hand, there are any number of reasons why a donor might not have claimed a deduction and therefore not completed an 8283, and here comes the organization filing an 8282 for the sale of property that the donor didn't deduct, which can't help but complicate matters for the generous donor who made the gift to the organization.

I guess I would work toward reasonable confidence that if an 8283 was signed by the organization it would be logged centrally, and then only complete the 8282 when the organization signed the 8283.

The "gray area" is interesting.

I wonder whether issuing a standard, vanilla descriptive gift-in-kind receipt, indicating that a charitable contribution was made, is enough to infer that the recipient "reasonably knows that the donor intends to claim a deduction"?

Well, not a problem for us, at any rate.

Whether it might be a problem for our donor, who might then have to deal with the IRS following up on an 8282 for a deduction that wasn't claimed, is less clear to me.
