Donations of clothing, household items and other goods to Goodwill are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. When you deliver your donation to a store, please ask the donation clerk for a receipt of your items or pre-fill one out before you go click here. Federal law provides that clothing and household goods must be in "good used condition or better" for tax deductions.

Donation Receipt/Tax Record Form

Most donations to Goodwill Industries are tax deductible, but you must maintain a record of contributed items for your tax report.  Before you bring your donation to one of our stores, you can pre fill out a Receipt/Tax Record form, then when you arrive one of our goodwill representatives can sign it. 

How much is my stuff worth?

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires donors to value their items. To help guide you, Goodwill Industries International has compiled a suggested list with price ranges for items commonly sold in Goodwill stores.  Assume the following items are in good condition, and remember—prices are only estimated values.

Determining the Value of Donated Property (IRS Pub 561)

IRS publication 561, defines “fair market value” and helps donors and appraisers determine the value of property given to qualified organizations. It also explains what kind of information you must have to support the charitable contribution deduction you claim on your return.

If you believe your donations are worth more than $500, the IRS requires you to submit an independent appraisal with your itemized tax return. Appraisals should be done before items are donated, and payment of the appraisal is the responsibility of the donor.
