Writing check for charity

[Kurly]

Charity needed kids clothes for christmas. I bought clothes at store, used my credit card. How do I value the donation in turbo tax. I have a written receipt form the charity. I am very confused on how to value it..

if you donated shortly after purchasing and there was no personal use the value would be what you paid.

for the method of valuation use replacement cost new, describe as new clothing

You will value the donation for the amount you paid for the clothes (or the receipt that the charity gave you for its value).  Just be sure to keep both receipts of proof.
