Clothesline Suggestions for
Valuations
-
Separate your clothing to be donated into
higher priced and low cost items. The higher cost items mainly consist of
expensive dress clothes such as men's and women's suits, dresses,
evening gowns and coats.
-
Check the prices of low cost items
at a local thrift store, the
Clothesline's Price
List
, or online at other
valuation web sites. It is up to you to assign an exact value
to each clothing item based on the condition and your research.
-
Determine the value of more expensive donated clothing by checking on
similar items for sale at quality consignment shops. Keep notes in your tax
file to support the value you decide to assign each item.
-
Use Form 8283 from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
website if the total value of non-cash contributions exceed $500 for the year.
Complete the form and include it when filing your tax return.
