Charitable Contribution Calculator?

[LD92599]

Can anyone recommend a website for calculating the total estimate for charitable contributions (clothing). I have tons and tons of clothes to donate but want to be sure i'm calculating it properly. I remember seeing something mention way back when but it's not coming up in a search!

TIA!

Here's a link from the Salvation Army

I usually do an itemized list with the values, and staple it to the receipt from the charity.

Last year we used one made by Turbo Tax. It was fairly inexpensive at Costco, and it guarantees that you'll save more than it cost and they'll defend you if you get audited.

Last year we used ItsDeductible - you can buy it through TurboTax I believe or at http://www.itsdeductible.com. I think it was about $20 - but it saved us an estimated $250 more than if I had estimated the values myself. Well worth it and easy to use - and all the values are IRS approved. ;-) HTH!
