Could someone please answer the following? For tax itemizing regarding used household items for donations (clothes, shoes, books, curtains, etc.) how would I add them? Add the actual amount I paid for them in the store or add how much I think they are worth now? And when I get my total, what would be the actual percentage from the total that I would actual get back as a refund? Say if I were in the 28% tax bracket. And is there a minimum amount that I would need to donate to get a refund towards my donations? Also, is there a maximum amount that I can donate without creating any problems? Thanks.
