    If you itemize deductions (Schedule A), you may deduct your charitable contributions.

     

    When entering your charitable contributions in TurboTax, select GuideMe and TurboTax will help you assign a value to your donated items. Alternately, you can enter your donations directly into the free ItsDeductible program. Instructions for both of these methods are available in this TurboTax FAQ:  How do I enter my charitable donations in TurboTax?

    I donated about 25 boxes full of children's books plus around 30 stuffed animals and 15-20 big books to an elementary school last fall.  Is that tax deductible? How much?
