Did you give away a closet worth of used clothing to Goodwill last year? You can include this on your tax form and get a deduction, which saves you money. You need to keep track of all the items that you donate and get receipts from the nonprofits where you dropped them off. The IRS has special instructions for how to place a value on the items that you give away, so you know exactly how much you can deduct.
Here’s a link to the IRS publication that has information on that:

Happy giving
