Frequently Asked Questions

How do I value clothing and household goods for charitable donations? +

The deduction amount is generally the fair market value (FMV) of the property at the time of contribution. For used clothing and household goods, the FMV is typically the price a buyer of used items would pay at a thrift shop or consignment store. Items must be in 'good' or better condition. If the FMV exceeds $5,000, an appraisal by a qualified appraiser is required.

What is the benefit of timing the sale of assets with capital gains and losses? +

By selling assets with capital gains in one year and those with capital losses in the following year, taxpayers can reduce their taxable income in the year of the loss and potentially lower overall tax liability. For example, realizing a $6,000 capital loss in one year and a $6,000 capital gain in the next can result in a net tax reduction of $1,200 by shifting the timing of sales.
