If I file my taxes online, is there a maximum I can claim for donations ...

Question by Worship Jesus or Burn In Hell : If I file my taxes online, is there a maximum I can claim for donations charitble ?
I might use Turbotax to do my taxes online, how do I list charitable donations? Last year I cleaned out my attack and must have given at least three carloads of clothes old furnature, and junk to Goodwill and Salvation army shops-Is there a maximum I can claim? As I?ll be filing online, how do i prove i donated what and when? Best answer:

Answer by Judy
maximum is half your income, so unless it?s really low, not much likelihood of hitting that.You sound a little vague though on just what you donated. You can not take a deduction unless you have an itemized receipt from them. So, household goods, including clothing, must be in good used condition at least, to deduct them. Your deduction is their thrift shop value, not their original cost.You prove what you donated by the IRS showing your receipts if and when they ask for them.
