My brother-in-law passed away in 2021. His sister (my wife) was his sole beneficiary of his entire estate. He was never married and had no children. She donated a substantial amount of his personal property (clothing, household items, electronics, etc.). In order to claim the charitable deduction TT wants to know the purchase price of these items. She has no idea what the purchase price is...all of these items belonged to her late brother. Other than making up a number (which we will not do) how do I determine the requested values? DO I use $0?
