Need specific advise on "You have an entry on Form 8283, Donee Acknowledgement, which requires a donee's signature."

I just finished my taxes and TT is showing the message above. I have never had this in all my years of filing with TT, and we do a very similar amount of charitable donations each year. What changed? Most of my donations are goods, and I have dated receipts from each donation, as I have for all prior years. Nothing that I donated had a value over $500 for any item, nor was such flagged as I entered in the data. How do I determine the specific entry that was flagged? Two of my donations are at locations I cannot physically get to for any donee signature, so what do I do if one of those is the required one (assuming it is only one).

Open to any suggestions. I can print out my tax forms for signature, but HOW do I know which one or ones of my multiple donations is the one requiring the signature?

Thanks,

Scott

The taxing agency has implemented new standards for 2024 tax returns that essentially says if Form 8382 has a noncash donation where the donee is listed, then the form must be signed. See this TurboTax Help.

The Instructions for Form 8283, page 11, states:

In some cases, it may be impossible to get the donee's signature on Form 8283. The deduction will not be disallowed for that reason if you attach a detailed explanation of why it was impossible.
