Donating suits and work clothes
$10-$75/item
Can You Write Off Donating Suits and Work Clothes?
Short answer: Yes, at thrift value if you itemize; groups like Dress for Success and Career Gear accept interview clothing.
Used clothing and household items, including electronics and appliances, must be in good used condition or better to be deductible. 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.
