1. We gave, my wife gave about 6,000.00 worth of teaching aid book to a school, since she is retired, mostly all new unused, I read the 8283, from what I read to deduct about 4,000.00 2/3 of the coast, all I need to do is part 1, nothing on part 2, 3 or 4, correct or not?? thank you... richard

Yes, that is correct!

Whenever I donate something of that value, I always take a picture of the item(s) and keep it for my records just in case some issue comes up.

Taking pictures as part of your recordkeeping is a great idea.
