First, you need to be a qualified donor. A qualified donor is a taxpayer defined as the person responsible for planting a crop, managing the crop, and harvesting the crop from the land. A qualified donor is also the person responsible for growing or raising, harvesting, packing, or processing a qualified donation item. A qualified donor is not a retailer. See the link below for the form and instructions.
