IRS Donation Guidelines (tax year 2007)
Federal law permits donors to
claim tax deductions for many financial contributions and
for donated clothing and household goods in good, used
condition or better. If you’re unsure whether your item
qualifies for a tax deduction, then consider this: if you
would give it to a relative or friend, then the item is most
likely in good condition and is appropriate to donate.
