Salvation Army Guide for Tax Deductions
- The Salvation Army valuation guide lists the most commonly donated items and provides a low and high estimate for each one. For example, an older sleeper sofa with damaged upholstery and a worn-out mattress might only be worth $85, while a newer one in excellent condition could be considered a $300 donation.
- Clothing donations are divided into three main groups: women's, men's and children's. To allow the most accurate estimates of the value of specific clothing items, each of those groups contains subgroups. Other item categories include appliances, furniture, household goods and miscellaneous items, such as bicycles, golf clubs and books.
- The Salvation Army also accepts tax-deductible cash donations, automobile donations and airline miles for emergency travel. Volunteers are always needed as well.
