Default Establish Value Up-Front

I would have a discussion with a tax accountant regarding the best way to establish reasonable value before I decided to donate it. The IRS is all over the donation of boats and cars and has some rules regarding the amount you can deduct.

I think what you are doing makes sense and the charities really need all they can get these days. You do not want to get burned in the process.

Good Luck!
