I am writing to see if someone can help our Upstate Model Railroad club (a registered 501c(3) organization) with the completion of the IRS Noncash Charitable Contributions ( Form #8283). We recently received a wonderful G Scale significant donation of ~ $20,000. One of our esteemed and most knowledgeable members carefully inventoried, researched, valued and documented (including photos) for the donor the items and provided a signed form, but the donor’s tax advisor questioned our signing the form since our club received the donation, as it could potentially be a “conflict of interest” or a “perceived conflict of interest”. I am hoping someone might be able to help us or point us in the right direction. Earlier I sought help from the Train Collectors Association, but have not yet received a response. Thank you in advance.
