You can use a value of a closely related item. Also please take a look at the Salvation Army’s valuation guide
http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf/0/D477340FFA28755C8525743D0049D1EF?Opendocument
If you still have more questions, please call our tax experts so you can explain to them which items you’re looking for.
Thank you,
Lisa Greene-Lewis

Can you please reply to my question above so I can finish my return.

How does one enter a tangible charitable contribution into the Turbotax software system that is not one of the enumerated items listed in Turbotax?

Jim

TaxCaster takes into account the final tax laws passed on January 1st. AMT was permanently patched so millions of taxpayers save on their taxes. TaxCaster does take the new law regarding AMT into account.
Thank you,

The IRS isn’t accepting returns for processing until Jan 30th this year. And, the IRS has not finalized all of the forms yet do to the recent tax law changes. That may be the reason you are receiving the message.
Hope this helps –
Karen
