I think you've made a misstatement in item 7. You said, "the agency takes a close look at taxpayers who say they donated $500 or just under, since anyone who donates more than that amount must file form 8283. (And if you do donate more than $500, be sure to file that form.)" Form 8283 deals with the charitable donation of property other than cash. If you give $10,000 to University X, no Form 8283 is required, but if you give a painting worth $10,000 to University X, Form 8283 is required. Most taxpayers, whose charitable donations all in cash or whose charitable donations are in cash except for less than $500 in non-cash donations, do not need to file Form 8382.
