FAQ
How much can you deduct for the gently used goods you donate to Goodwill? The IRS allows you to deduct fair market value for gently-used items. The quality of the item when new and its age must be considered. The IRS requires an item to be in good condition or better to take a deduction.
Generally, individuals and corporations can deduct charitable contributions under IRC 170(a)(1). For contributions of property, the amount of the deduction is generally the fair market value of the donated property at the time of donation. See Reg. 1.170A-1(c)(1).
In-kind donation receipt. The donor, not the nonprofit, must determine the monetary value of goods donated. In-kind donation receipts should include the donor's name, the description of the gift, and the date the gift was received.
The accepted way to record in-kind donations is to set up a separate revenue account but the expense side of the transaction should be recorded in its functional expense account. For example, revenue would be recorded as Gifts In-Kind – Services, and the expense would be recorded as Professional Services.
How should I recognize in-kind donations? Send the donor an acknowledgment that includes your tax ID number, a description of the goods and/or services they donated and the date you received them.
Item(s)? For lifetime giving recognition purposes, a gift-in-kind donation is credited to the donor at one-half the estimated value. Gifts of service, volunteer time, or partial interest gifts do not qualify as a gift-in-kind ing to the IRS.
How and When to Record and Report In-Kind Donations Determine the item's fair market value (FMV). Record the in-kind donation. Provide a written acknowledgment to the item's donor. Report the gift on your Form 990.
Recording In-Kind Donations of Goods: Record the fair market value of the donated items on the day that they were received (or pledged, if not delivered immediately). Classify the revenue as “in-kind revenue” or the appropriate revenue account on your chart of accounts.
