I think you will be on a first name basis with one of your local charities for the furniture, clubs and other similar items. As far as the tax returns go you might want to keep a few years past the legal holding requirement (7 years back, I think but could be wrong) just to be on the safe side.
When I got back home and walked into the basement and looked at all my junk I thought "why do I have all this stuff and why am I keeping it". I have been hauling things out for trash pickup every week and boy it is not easy.
Good luck.

I think basements are magnets for "extra stuff." That's why a move to TV is such a cleansing operation -- because we all know (in advance) there are no basements in TV (FL, overall?). And limited space in closets.
Have moved before. You'd think by now we'd know not to collect stuff. But no-oooo. So it's out with stuff again. Kathy is much more organized than me. Except we hauled a lot of her books to Half Priced Books, too. She made $60.
She can't stand the thought of throwing away anything; but she is perfectly willing to give things away. But...she's OK if I throw away my "extra" spare tire! It is a whitewall; I guess she thinks it's dated <g>.
