What Is My Donation
Worth?
All of Goodwill’s donation centers are staffed
by company representatives to issue donors receipts for tax purposes. It is
also recommended that donors keep itemized lists of their donations. The
Internal Revenue Service allows a deduction for each item, but the donor
determines each item’s value. Generally, an item’s value should be based on
fair market value – what the item would sell for in a thrift store. For more
information on charitable deductions or determining the value of your
donations, please visit www.irs.gov or www.CharityDeductions.com.
