Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You didn't say whether your donations are money or property. If your total non-cash donations are more than $500 you must list each non-cash donation separately. If the donations are all money, the federal tax return shows only the total amount. The IRS doesn't see any of the details that you enter. I would assume that most state tax returns would be the same. Check the form for itemized deductions for your state and see if it requires anything other than the total amount of money donations. If the state is only going to see the total, it doesn't matter how much or how little detail you enter. You could just enter one donation to "Miscellaneous Charities" for the total amount. But keep all your detailed records and receipts with your tax records in case the state questions the deduction.
