How do I donate used clothing and obtain a receipt for tax purposes?

If you're donating to a remote location (a Salvation Army bin, for instance) where there is not an attendant on hand to create a receipt for you, then you'll need to make your own itemized receipt detailing the items donated and their estimated value, and hold onto it for tax time.

Be aware, your prepared receipt will need to pass muster in the event of an IRS audit, so don't go crazy overestimating the value of the items donated -- remember Bill Clinton's $4 underwear? :-)

By the way, please don't be put off by others who castigate you for wanting to donate old unused items and getting a tax break in return. You're entitled to it and non profits obtain their status in order to encourage others to donate items, money and services to their organization.

when you dontate clothes, they will ask if you want a reciept always say yes. they will ask for an estimate value of what you have given.
if they dont ask if you want one, ask them to give you one

Take the clothing to any non-profit organization that accepts such donations and ask for a receipt. Generally, they will give you a dated receipt that you fill out yourself, stating the amount of clothing donated, and estimated resale value of the items.


lookin_for_my_thong_panties
go to the organization and simply ask for a receipt. good luck:)

Take your clothing to a used clothing store such as "The Salvation Army" and request an itemized receipt. They will honor your request.


donra2
go to a goodwill, salvation army...and they should ask you if you want a reciept, if not then just ask them and you're good to go.

Take them round your local charity shop.

You can call Amvets, Salvation Army, Goodwill,Red Cross, Cisca, UCP, MDS, etc. some will come to your home for pick ups, and you then ask for a receipt. when you schedule, your appt. Some of these place do not have pick up, you may have to drop your items off.

get a pamphlet or voucher from the company or charity you donate the clothes to,,you will have to file on your 1040 or if you use turbo tax you will have to fill out a donation form and value it accordingly most of the time irs states you should value as what you would get at a garage sale,, be accurate,, so youll never be audited and make sure you have name and address of charity,,, i do to 3 or 4 a year,,, they love it,,,
