Charitable Deductions

[CaddyGrn]

I serve on the boards of two different charities, I often donate items the office needs, or general supplies.  When listing  under the "item" category, none of the choices seem useful.  For example, if I purchase paper towels for the kitchen, or soap for the restrooms, or paper or ink for the office I buy them at the store and save the receipts.  Do I lump my receipts under "money" or do I list each thing individually?  Please advise.

Yes, you can lump them together.  

• But the IRS may require verification of the donations.
• You can do this by logging in each purchase, and attaching the receipt.
• Store this with your tax documents.
• If the question arises, then you will have it.

• You can list all of the items under 
  • Household Items, or
  • Other personal property.
  • You can also use the date Various
