Does IRS generally accept itsdeductable valuations

Not me. I’ve donated TONS of hardcover books, textbooks and paperbacks. Never had a problem!

It is a good idea to go to one time to Goodwill or a thrift shop to familiarize yourself with prices.  At a Goodwill in NC, all shirts (many almost new or new) are $4.50, good framed pictures or paintings 24" X 36" go for $20, soft cover books are $1, and hard cover books are $1.50.  If picture frames are damaged, the price is about a third off.

I have been audited. They questioned the quantity not the Itsdeductable value. Fortunately someone told me to take pictures. I have a photo documentation that details the location, date & time of the photos
