Why can't you have multiple non-cash charitable donations appear on one page on Form 8283?  It use to be that way in 2023 and prior years.  What happened in 2024 that you can no longer list more than one non-cash charity on one Form 8283?   In the 2024 Lacerte software, if you have two or more non-cash chartities, it takes two or more 8283 pages.  Yet, 2024 Form 8283 has multiple lines for multiple non-cash charities, but Lacerte isn't using the extra lines on a page.  It does a page two, three, four, etc. for more than one non-cash charity.  Why?

I'm going to say this a little more strongly. The person(s) who redesigned the 8283 input should be fired. Not next week, not tomorrow, today. Let me list a few items:

1) Entering date of donation defaults to 2025. Uh, we are not preparing 2025 taxes

2) I've lost what must be 200 non-profit names, address from the old drop down menu. Do you have any idea how much time this consumes for those of us who prepare many 8283 forms?

3) Did anyone even review how the input shows up on the form? You can't provide a decent description as it's only one line. This is unacceptable.

4) Who in their right mind though breaking the input into two screens what a good idea? Seriously!!!!
