samingeorgia Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 "Here are four tickets from the Salvation Army. You see I took 12 bags to them. How much will that help?" "What was in these bags? Did you make a list?" "Clothes, some kitchen appliances... No, I didn't make a list; don't you have a general amount that you can claim?" To myself: "Oh yeah, I have an amount in mind...." 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan S. Golar Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Yes - years ago I advised a client to take a photo of what was donated. So the next year he came back and showed me the photos - photos of stuffed black garbage bags. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I have a couple of Goodwill donees that never report giving anything to any other worthy causes. But yes, every year here they come with a handful of tickets, no doubt expecting me to place handsome values on their spring cleaning. Even now with the std deduction so ridiculously high they will expect some benefit from this. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 The new standard deduction helps out a lot on this. But in Ky, charitable deductions still count, ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
