If i donate clothes to goodwill, do i need a statement from the org. to count as a tax deduction in ny state?:
I don't think it's at all charitable of you to donate your old clothes that you no longer want and then expect to get financial compensation ie a tax write off in return. Do you even know the meaning of charitable? P.S. Why don't you sell the clothing to some homeless 'street' people? They have money from begging and can probably skip a meal or two to buy some clothes. (Just a thought)
