RETRIEVE DONATION RECEIPT

Here are some important things you need to know

  • Per IRS Publication 561, all nonprofit organizations are prohibited from assigning values to material donations. That means it’s the donor’s responsibility to determine the item’s fair market value. Keep an itemized list of your donations.
  • When you drop your donations at Goodwill, be sure to take a receipt from the computerized donation kiosk. Our donation attendants can assist you with this. Hold onto this receipt as it is proof of your donation and may be needed at tax time. It’s also a good idea to attach your itemized list to it.
  • The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires you to value your donation when filing your tax return. Get started using this donation valuation guide compliments of the DC Goodwill which features estimates for the most commonly donated items. https://dcgoodwill.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dcgoodwill-irs-donation-value-guideweb.pdf
  • If you lose your donation receipt, you can produce a duplicate using our I-Donate technology.
  • Do your homework and always consult a tax accountant if you have questions about your deduction.
