With tangible personal property, you always deduct which ever is lower: the present fair market value or your cost basis. If your cost basis is $1500 but the current fair market value is $750, then your donation is worth $750 as a deduction.

I didn't know it's deductible is offline - how do I now get my previous donations? and how do I record my future donations to Goodwill etc?
