One word of caution, the amount claimed by the taxpayer must be donor assigned. The charity is not supposed to put any dollar amount on the receipt they give the donor. That's why it's critical that you have receipts for "new" goods donated or use generally accepted values (there are several lists available) for "used" goods donated.
