Determining Used Goods Donation Value

When you drop off your donations at Goodwill, you’ll receive a receipt from a donation attendant. Hang on to this receipt – at the end of the year, you can claim a tax deduction for clothing and household items that are in good condition.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires you to value your donation when filing your return. Get started with our donation valuation guide, which features estimates for the most commonly donated items.

Used Goods Donation Forms

If your used goods donations are valued at $500.00 or more please submit the IRS Non-cash Charitable Contributions (Form 8283) at the end of the year with your tax returns. [ Form 8283 Instructions ]
