my sibling and I in the course of cleaning out our parent's home after death donated a great deal of clothing and household items to Goodwill that were left after the estate sale. We kept an inventory of all the items. Would that be a deduction on the parent's last return upcoming, or ours? Which sibling? Should/could we 'split' the inventory list and each claim half? Parent was elderly and no longer itemized deductions, but seems reasonable to split between us as we both did the work of packing/hauling.
