After my husband's death, I donated all his clothes to Goodwill. How do I decide value?

My husband passed away on Dec. 30, 2017. I donated all this clothes (over 60 shirts, dress pants, suits, exercise bike etc.) to Goodwill. How do I find value for these donations?

Your best bet is to go to the Goodwill store and see what prices they charge for the same or similar items on their racks.  

The ItsDeductible module in turbotax Deluxe or higher will give you generic nationwide values, but your local values are a much better gauge of the fair market value, and will get more credit if the IRS audits you.
