No. Its Deductible was eliminated. There is something coming to replace it but the details are sparse---we do not know what or when. Sorry we cannot provide better information about it.

The question is what is the fair market value when you donated the items, for your items in the condition they were in, in your local area at that time. National values will not necessarily satisfy the IRS (and ItsDeductible values have been questioned at audit). And old values may not represent the current market. The best way to get values is to visit a local thrift store and see what they are tagging their items at. For higher end items, you might look at a consignment shop.
