No, it won't hurt me to add them, but it's fairly time-intensive. Aside from monthly cash donations to a few different organizations and random contributions for friends participating in fundraising walks or bike rides--the easy ones to add up--there are the in-kind ones. Haven't been as many to Goodwill or the library this year as normal, but I have items shipped directly to the local domestic violence shelter throughout the year, and it's a royal pain to have to go back and locate the dates, items, and cost of dozen of pillows, towel sets, small kitchen appliances etc. Medical expenses are always a pain in the rear, but since we've been using our HSA to a greater extent, most of our expenses in that area will already be pre-tax. Then again, our health insurance premiums and deductibles alone come close to $20K, which puts me back in the arena of "do I need to add everything up and make sure?" Gaaahh! Are we back to only being able to deduct over 10% of our AGI for medical?
