How much can I deduct for household items and clothing? You can deduct the amount based on a percentage of your Adjusted Gross Income. The fair market value of donated items in good or used condition can be claimed as a deduction on your tax return. You can claim a deduction of up to 60% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
Goodwill donations can only get you a deduction on your Federal income taxes if you itemize them. When you file your taxes, you can choose to either take a standard deduction, which is based on your age, marital status, and income, or an itemized deduction, which takes all of your deductible activity into account.
Write in the total fair market value of your donation. This value is determined by you, the donor. Goodwill provides a donation value guide to help determine fair market value. Please note: Goodwill employees cannot help determine fair market value.
A goodwill donation receipt is a document you receive when you donate items to organizations like Goodwill. This receipt serves as proof of your donation for tax purposes. Here's how it works:
Go to the Charitable Donation topic under Adjustments and Deductions. Choose Add Donation. Enter the information about your donation(s). Choose Enter and Value Items to go to the DeductionPro tool.
The goodwill receipt is basically meaningless. You need to document what you donate and you need to substantiate its value.
