What Is H&R Block’s DeductionPro?

If you’re claiming itemized deductions (vs. using the standard deduction), you’ll need to know the value of everything that you’re eligible to deduct. For charitable deductions, we make it easy for you. H&R Block’s DeductionPro is an easy, accurate way to place a value on used clothing and household goods. Just choose the condition and quantity for each item, and DeductionPro will provide a value based on up-to-date thrift shop prices.

How Do I Use H&R Block’s DeductionPro?

To use DeductionPro in the Deluxe, Premium, or Self-Employed product:

  1. Go to the Charitable Donation topic under Adjustments and Deductions.
  2. Choose Add Donation.
  3. Enter the information about your donation(s).
  4. Choose Enter and Value Items to go to the DeductionPro tool.
  5. Choose the links to find the correct item type.
