I dont buy the fact that the IRS requires a proof of purchase or proof of original cost. That woudl render almost every contribution void. No one keeps receipts for every piece of clothing they donate.
That is insane

I’m a big fan of Goodwill for my monthly clothing donations. I also love their programs. Once you have your donations valued, I’d recommend going to them.

A free way to get estimates for donated items is to check out these websites:

http://www.salvationarmyusa.org
http://www.satruck.org/ValueGuide
http://www.goodwillwm.org/donate/estimated values

There are also regional Goodwill, Salvation Army, and St. Vincent de Paul websites which have lists of items typically donated to them, and a value range for each item.
For tax purposes, select the guide you want, and print it out. Include a copy in your tax file, in case there are any questions later from IRS.

If you get an audit by IRS for noncash donations, your documentation must have the original cost of the items and the value. Pictures are great!

I use the site http://deductiontraq.net for tracking all my charity donations. They interface with eBay to find the fair market value of items. Also, I can upload pictures of my non-cash donations.
