You do not need an itemized receipt from the charity in order to deduct your charitable donations of used clothing. It is up to you to record/document what you donated. Taking photos of your non-cash donated items is a good idea.
Your donation will fall under Noncash Charitable Contributions. if your deduction for a noncash contribution is more than $500. When you enter noncash contributions of more than $500, TurboTax will automatically complete Form 8283 and include it on your tax return.
Donations valued between $1-250 require a receipt from the charity unless it is impractical to get one - like if you dropped clothing off in a bin or unmanned drop-off location. Donations of $251-500 require a receipt from the charity with the name, address, date, location, and items (bag of clothes is okay) listed. Donations of $501-5,000 also require a record of how and when the items were acquired and their adjusted basis. Anything more than $5,000 needs an appraisal.
