Tax Deductions - Donations to a Non-Profit Agency - What do you do?

The form that the Goodwill gave to us when we donated to them does not have any space for how much the items were worth. I mean, if I say that I donated $100 worth of stuff where do I put that on my tax forms? Will the IRS want more proof that I actually donated $100 worth of items? How does that work?

Answers:
Write out a list of what you donated and the total worth. Keep it with your Goodwill form.

You'd put deductions on Schedule A of your 1040.

Here's info:

You will report your donation on schedule A of you income tax. The IRS do not require proof unless your donaton is over $500.
You can only take the deduction if you itemize. It goes on schedule A under charitable deductions. The rules have been tightened substantially for documentation - read the instructions for schedule A for more information.
