Total was 121 ea 12x12's and 144 ea 6x6's. They took them immediately to front of store to sell, so the manager definitely wanted them.

    you have left out a lot of details. so review IRS publication 526 to figure out your deduction. 

    https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-526 

    things that could affect the deductibility.

    1) how long did you own them

    2) your basis and Fair Market Value

    3) did you get a written receipt and acknowledgement

    4) is the value over $5,000

     

    the reporting would be done on form 8283 for non-cash contributions which flows to the gifts to charity section on Schedule A

    As Mike9241 said, you will have to get additional details. but before you do, be sure it is worth it.

     

     

    The standard deduction amounts for 2024 are:

    • $29,200 – Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Surviving Spouse
    • $21,900 – Head of Household
    • $14,600 – Single or Married Filing Separately

    For 2024, the additional standard deduction amounts for taxpayers who are 65 and older or blind are:

    • $1,950 for Single or Head of Household
    • $1,550 for married taxpayers or Qualifying Surviving Spouse

    After crunching the numbers it the Itemized deduction may not be the best choice for you.

    • You can get a value and post the charitable donation.
    • You can include this with other Itemized deductions

    However, here are some of the limitations to Itemized deductions

    • Medical expenses: You can only deduct the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your AGI.
    • Mortgage Interest:  You can deduct the interest you paid during the tax year on the first $750,000 of your mortgage debt for your primary home or a second home. If you are married filing separately, the limit drops to $375,000.
    • Local Taxes: Your deduction of state and local income tax, general sales, and property taxes is limited to a combined total deduction of $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately).
    • Business expenses for employees is no longer allowed.
    • There may be other limitations that are not listed.
    • Finally, the total of all deductions must be greater than the Standard deduction.
