If you are a non profit you give them a receipt, they fill it in with what they think it's worth. If the IRS thinks they lied or overvalued stuff it's on them. It's good for them to have a detailed inventory and be to be modest I they need to defend the number they came up with.

I have the viewpoint that if an entity is NOT tax exempt (501c3), donations are treated as income by the non-profit and the donor can not deduct the value on their tax return. When donations are sold, then the question is was it sold for market value, below or above? A non profit can have taxable income if they do indeed have a real profit. Even those who have tax exempt status can be taxed for UBIT(Unrelated Business Income Tax), if they sell things that are "unrelated" to their mission. Angelo

I'm not a CPA, Matt, but I'm pretty certain they can take actual value for their donations. Suggest an appraisal or other 3rd party valuation, though.

ThinkTank, I have been trying to research this and I'm not really finding a complete answer. Perhaps some of you have personal experience/knowledge that can help. There is a bike shop in my City that has a stockpile of used bikes in a warehouse and they've expressed some interest in donating them to our community bike shop. Does anyone know specifically what the tax advantages are for the business that donates? I know how it works for individuals but I don't know how it works for a business.
Does anyone have epxerience with this?
Thanks, Matt
