I know that we can give items in "good" condition to a charity such as Goodwill and deduct the fair market value. I also know that if we are giving more than $500 worth of stuff we need to file a form itemizing what we gave and identifying the recipient.

It used to be our Goodwill would give a receipt for items given, but only in a general sense, such as "8 boxes." Our Goodwill will not sign an itemized receipt. So you tax practitioners and those of you who give stuff to charities, what do you do to document your donation?
