Hello,
I donated about 115+ items to a qualified charity totaling more than $500. The instructions say to give date, purchase price for any item over $500, and indicate I should have an appraisal or letter. All items were well under $50 each if that, so I don't think I should have to fill this in. It looks like Turbo Tax is forcing me into it. So first, do I really need to do this? Second, if so, I suppose I just put various for acquired date, and give a number that is reasonable, probably about 10x what I'm deducting. (For example a new pair of pants was probably $50 and I'm claiming $5.00) Though this seems pretty ridiculous to do. I can understand if it's a single item....
I saw a post similar to this from 2019, but I didn't think the answer addressed the question of a single item >500 vs. many items totaling over >500
Thanks
