    Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!

    Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.

    Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!

  • 10 Stars!! Joe was a pleasure to work with. Answered all my questions with incredible patience. Payment was swift and they got started immediately and the turn around time was much sooner than I expected. (I was on a time crunch and they got it done for me incredibly fast!) And the best part was the appraisal was even more than what I was expecting. And everything I need was sent to my email. Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone needing an appraisal!

Frequently Asked Questions on Nevada Charitable Donation Appraisers

Does Nevada add state requirements to charitable donation appraisals?

No. NRS Chapter 82A regulates how charities register and solicit, not how donors value gifts, so Nevada donors follow only the federal rules, including the qualified appraisal requirement once a claimed deduction for an item or group of similar items exceeds $5,000.

What paperwork goes with a Nevada donation worth more than $5,000?

Form 8283 Section B, signed by both the qualified appraiser and the receiving organization, filed with your federal return. Art claimed at $20,000 or more needs a complete signed appraisal attached, and deductions over $500,000 require the full appraisal report regardless of asset type.

How does Nevada probate treat appraisals when estate property is being sold or donated?

Nevada expects current values: personal property sold through probate must have been appraised within one year before the sale, and NRS 144.020 lets the personal representative engage different qualified, disinterested appraisers for different asset classes. NRS 144.025 even authorizes CPAs and other valuation experts.

Is there an appraisal shortcut for household furnishings in a Nevada estate?

Yes, for probate only. If the personal representative reasonably believes household furniture and furnishings are worth under $30,000, a verified record of value can substitute for a formal appraisement. That shortcut does not carry over to the IRS, which still requires a qualified appraisal for donated property claimed above $5,000.
