What value can I use on sale clothes?

Bought some new clothes that were originally 19.99 but were being closed out at 0.99.  What value can I use for my tax deduction?

The value you can use is what you paid for the clothes. That is your basis. 

 

Your basis is essentially your investment in an asset—the amount you will use to determine your profit or loss when you sell it.
