Do you get a tax deduction for non cash donations?
The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, permits you to make non-cash contributions to charitable organizations and take a tax deduction. The IRS limits the amount of non-cash deductions you can take each year, and more valuable donations require additional documentation before allowing the deduction.
Noncash contributions for which you are declaring a value over $500 also need a description of how you acquired the donated item, the date you acquired the donated item, and some sort of cost basis of the donated item — unless it is a publicly traded security. Any individual donation valued over $5,000 must have an independent appraisal.
