Assume $2023$ tax payer. I contributed a lot of money this year. I gave $$500$ in cash to the March of Dimes. I contributed a red velvet couch and my old recliner. The furniture is considered vintage and is worth $$5,000$ today $($the appraiser surprised me$!),$ even though I only paid $$800$ for it$.$ Cola had a charity drive for the Church this year and I contributed $$80$ per month since I started my job March $1$st$.$ I gave a friend $$500$ to help him out. Figure out what is deductible from AGI and what is not. For any amount that is not deductible explain why its not.
