How to Get a Tax Receipt for Thrift Store Donations
- 1). Identify a thrift store in your area that is being run by an eligible charitable organization. Use the IRS's online database if you have trouble finding a local group.
- 2). Contact the thrift store's donations department to find out the process for donating items and receiving a receipt. Take your items to the thrift store's donation area, following the store's instructions.
- 3). Ask for your receipt at the time of donation. Verify that it includes the name of the organization, its address and its contact information. Verify that the receipt includes relevant details of your donation, including the good faith estimate of the value of the donated items.
