If I donate a boat worth $64,000 how much can I write off my taxes in 2016.

[SweetieJean · Accepted solution]

Assuming you donated it to an IRS-recognized charity, you can deduct the sale price they get when they sell it, which is likely to be less than $64,000. Also see:

So in most cases, you are better off to SELL the boat, and give the proceeds to the charity of your choice.
