I want to donate a working pick-up truck to charity. I have heard all about the tax deduction I would be eligible for, but isn’t a deduction only helpful if I OWE money on my taxes each year? I always, always get money back… so will donating a car be beneficial for me? Or am I better off just selling the truck?

If an non-profit organization accepts donations, can that money be legally deducted from a paycheck on a pre-tax basis? If this can be done, how would you file the income tax return so that you don’t claim it as a further deduction?

My ministry obtained 501(c)(3) certification from the IRS last year, and one way I am trying to help raise funds is by running an online bookstore selling primarily used Christian books. I have received several hundred books as donations since the beginning of the year since I started soliciting donations, and I’m hoping to go live with the store in a few weeks, but I’m not sure what I need to do as far as assigning a donation value to the books when I send out donation receipts at the end of the year. Do I simply list the number and type of books donated and let the donor make the call on the value of the donation? Or does the IRS have any sort of a list of the deduction value of certain used items when it comes to charitable donations? Any links you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
