5. Tax Deduction Available for Items Donated to Charity
Donating clothing and other belongings to charity is a total feel-good process. First, you feel good about emptying your closets and drawers of items you no longer use - the house is cleaner and less cluttered. Also, you feel good about providing useful items to needy people. And finally, you feel good about the fact that you are reducing your income taxes. Your donated items qualify for a tax deduction if you follow these simple rules.
