How do tax deductions and refunds work on chairities?

Would the tax deductions and refunds be 100% of the amount you donate to chairity? Sources?
What do you mean, itemize it?

    It is a fraction of what you donate. For example, I had a lot of base ball and basket ball cards in complete Series or close to it. I need to make space so I donated about three case of it to the salvation army. Each collection was worth from 15bucks to 100 or more depending on what card company makes them. So I check the becket for price of all the cards in sets that is, and it was over three thousand dollars. The worker taking in the donation gave me a receipts so I can use it as a tax deduction. At the end, I think I got like 200 bucks back from it. So basically, your not going to get all your money that you donate back.

    If you already itemize and donate $100 to charity, you would see your tax bill go down by about $15 to $25.

    If you do not itemize, it won’t change at all.
