Clothing and Household items
Suggested Donation Deductions
If you donate clothing, furniture or household goods to Goodwill, the Internal Revenue Service allows a deduction based on the fair market value (what a buyer would pay for the goods in a thrift or consignment shop). The better an items condition, the greater its value. Contributions of items totaling $250 or more must be substantiated by a signed receipt or written acknowledgment from the charity, Goodwill stores and Donation centers do not keep a copy of this receipt. Listed below are resale values of items in area Goodwill stores that you may use to itemize your deductions.
