<prompt> Human: I just donated about 2 large trashbags full of old clothes and some electronics as well as an oakley backpack. I have the receipt and Im wondering how I file this as a write off and for how much?note: Im not that experienced with doing taxes as Ive only made enough money in the last fiscal year to even have to do my taxes.  <response>: You add it to your itemized deduction list as a charitable contribution. If youre not already itemizing deductions, youll see a reduced benefit at best and no benefit at worst.
