I give a lot of items to non profit organizations. The other day I took a whole carload of clothes from neighbors on my street who couldn't be bothered to the local Salvation Army store. I don't mind doing it because if I didn't, the clothes would end up in the dump and most still have a lot of life.

I seem to remember reading about a book that tells you how much you can deduct for items like shirts, pants, dresses, etc on your tax return. Does anyone know this book and where I can get it? And can I take the deduction even though I was given the clothes from my neighbors?
