Inherited items are NOT income and are not reported on an income tax return. Now the donation may be deductible if you itemize deductions.

Such items - trucks or other valuable property - are reported on an NJ Transfer Inheritance Tax Return. It is a very nasty tax.

Seek professional help with that NJ form.

Of course, we don't. I'm just venting.

As a fellow NJ resident, I emphatize.
