Since this service is already set up for its users, I thought it would be good to give it a try. I feel at comfort having my donations track <i>just in case I am ever audited</i>.

But that looks like a nice service for those who do. I don’t itemize; even with charitable deductions it’s not advantageous for me. But that looks like a nice service for those who do.

I found out more information via the <a>tax phamplet on Charitable donations</a> and this <a href="http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/CutYourTaxes/IRSTightensCharitableGiftRules.aspx" rel="nofollow">article on IRS Charitable Gift Rules</a>. After figuring, it would give me an extra $100. Do you think it is worth it? I did donate ALOT of stuff (just was in more of an urge to get it out of my house or trunk).

I do that every year for the bags of goodwill clothes donations I take in - and I don't bother to figure out each piece, but I know it's worth at least $500 in total.
