I donate a lot of things each year. My suggestion is do some research like on ebay or other auction websites and see what a lift chair or similar item is being sold for. As the way the IRS looks at used items it is what the item is worth at the time you donate it. Something like a "fair market value". If you find something close to the item you are donating get picture of it off your computer (do "control C" to save it to the clipboard then open up a new "word" document and paste it) then take a picture of your chair you are donating to keep as record and store them with your tax return to give good evidence of your tax deduction. You have lots of ammo to defend your deduction. I do not think that who paid for it when you got it has any bearing on the donation value.
