Thrift Shop Valuation Guide

The following is a list of the average prices for items in good condition. This list is for your guidance only.

New Federal Income tax regulations require donors claiming deductions for charitable contributions consisting of property other than cash worth more than $500 to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions". Where the noncash charitable contribution, other than publicly traded securities, exceeds $5,000 (including 'similar property' contributed to one or more charitable organizations), the donee charitable organization must acknowledge the contribution on the form 8283.

In addition, donee charitable organizations are required to file Internal Revenue Service For, 8282 'Donee Information return', when they dispose of certain property the receipt of which they have acknowledged on a Form 8283.

[See IRS publication 561 (Revised February 2000). 'Determining the Value of Donated Property' for detailed information.]
