Since the Internal Revenue Service changed its rules prohibiting the appraisal of donated items by “Excluded Individuals” our company has seen an increase in the number of requests to appraise musical instruments. If you wish to donate a piano purchased from your store, for instance, the accompanying appraisal cannot be prepared by them anymore.
Please feel free to call St. Lucie Appraisal when you need appraisals for donations of personal property, insurance or any other reason. We arrive promptly, complete our reports in a timely manner and we will will work with you to make sure that you obtain the highest tax credit available for your donated items .
We are USPAP Compliant and Licensed by The State of Florida

The IRS will disallow any tax-credit if the item donated was appraised by anyone having a financial interest. That would include a music store selling an instrument on consignment, the original seller of the instrument, a relative, etc.
