Valuing Non-Cash DonationsDonations of items like clothing, cars, or household goods are assessed at the fair market value, or FMV. This is about how much you could get if you sold the items directly to a willing seller.

To claim tax deductible donations on your taxes, you must itemize on your tax return by filing Schedule A of IRS Form 1040 or 1040-SR. For the 2020 tax year, there's a twist: you can deduct up to $300 of cash donations without having to itemize. This is called an "above the line" deduction.

The Salvation Army does not set a valuation on your donation. It's up to you to assign a value to your item. For professional advice, please consult your tax advisor. PLEASE NOTE: This list is not all-inclusive, and not all items are accepted at every location.
