How to maxamize your tax deduction
Vehicle donations made to a charitable nonprofit organization are tax-deductible. The best practice
is to consult with a tax professional on how to maximize your tax deduction since every car
donation and tax situation is unique.
In general, the IRS limits the tax deduction to the gross proceeds from the sale of the car, truck or
other vehicle. Charitable contributions must be itemized on Schedule A of Form 1040 to qualify. If
the total deduction claimed on the tax return exceeds $500, Form 8283 "Non-cash Charitable
Contributions" must also be completed and attached.
To learn more about what a donors responsibilities are prior to making a car donation, please
consult the "Donors Guide to Vehicle Donations" found in IRS Publication 4303. This file may be read

We are a private nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS.
