Can You Write Off Donating Toys?
Short answer: Yes, if you itemize: new toys are deductible at what you paid when given to a 501(c)(3) drive like the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
Toys dropped in bins rarely come with a receipt, so keep your store receipt and a photo.
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.
