Appraisal Accuracy is Important
 When you donate an item to a charitable organization, the IRS requires that you have the item appraised by a qualified appraiser if the value is over $5,000, so that you can claim it as a deduction at tax time. The appraisal report is attached to your tax return and submitted to the IRS to show the value of the donated item(s).
