Tax Deduction*
It’s easy and stress-free to claim a tax deduction* when you donate to National Kidney Services (NKS). As a federally approved, nonprofit organization, all donations of used clothing and household items are tax deductible*.
​
We encourage our donors to keep a record of the items they donate by making an inventory list and noting each item’s original value (if this information is available), its current condition, and an estimate of the item’s value at the time you donate it. You can estimate the value of your contributions by using our online guide, or you can refer to the IRS guidelines. If you choose to have NKS pick up your donations for free, a tax receipt will be available from the truck driver. Donors who prefer to drop off their donations at stores can obtain a tax receipt at these locations. It’s just that easy to claim a tax deduction* when you donate to our charity!
