Can You Write Off Clothing Donations?
Short answer: Yes if you itemize, at thrift-store value, for items in good used condition.
Keep a list of what you gave and a receipt from the charity.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
