Donating a TV or electronics
$25-$500
Can You Write Off Donating a TV or Electronics?
Short answer: Yes, at fair market value if you itemize and the device works; broken electronics usually have no deductible value.
Used clothing and household items, including electronics and appliances, must be in good used condition or better to be deductible.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
