Donating sports equipment
$10-$300
Can You Write Off Donating Sports Equipment?
Short answer: Yes, at used value if you itemize; youth leagues and groups like Leveling the Playing Field give receipts.
Noncash gifts need itemizing (the 2026 non-itemizer deduction covers cash only); deduct fair market value, file Form 8283 above $500, and get a qualified appraisal above $5,000.
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.
