Can You Write Off Donating Medical Equipment?
Short answer: Yes, at fair market value if you itemize; loan closets and ALS or MS chapters take wheelchairs, walkers, and lift chairs.
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.
