Is there a tax deduction for people who donate their used phones?
Their donation may very well be tax-deductible. The fair market value of the donated phone may be determined by the donee. A receipt for a tax deduction can only be issued by a non-profit organization. Although we work with many non-profit organizations, we do NOT have non-profit status. Therefore we cannot issue tax receipts. If you mail in your phone and designate a specific charity, the funds will go to them and they will be notified of your donation. Many organizations will probably issue receipts automatically. If they do not, you should contact the charitable organization directly.
