10. How much can you deduct for your car?
Auto donations are tax deductible and will benefit each donor differently.
If you itemize your tax deductions, you may write-off the market value of this donation up to $500 with the initial receipt we will give you. If your donated vehicle sells for over $500, and our records show you intend to itemize your deductions, you will receive a supplemental IRS 1098-C form showing the gross proceeds of the sale and you will be required to file IRS form 8283.
If your vehicle sells for over $5,000.00, the charity is required to file IRS form 8282 and will contact you to review all other federal requirements.
Please consult with your tax advisor about how this tax deduction will best benefit you.
