Tax Deduction Info for Car Donations -- Made Simple!
 

#1: Verify that the Charity you choose is an IRS registered Nonprofit

 If you want to claim a deduction for donating a car to charity, then you should check to ensure that the charity is a qualified nonprofit organization. Otherwise, your donation will not be tax deductible. All proceeds from cars donated to Donate a Car 2 Charity benefit Activated Ministries, an IRS registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We are a Christian charity dedicated to helping those in need, sharing God's Word with others. Read more.
 

#2: Minimum $500 Tax Deduction when you Donate a Car

 The IRS allows a donor to claim the value of your donated vehicle up to $500 as the minimum deduction you can claim.  In other words, when you donate your car to Donate a Car 2 Charity you will receive an initial receipt that entitles you to claim the minimum $500 tax deduction.


#3: Qualify for a Greater Tax Deduction for Higher Value Vehicles

Many donated vehicles will qualify for a higher tax deduction if the sale value of the vehicle is over $500.  Most donated cars are sold at auction, and once the vehicle is sold the donor will receive an additional tax receipt which will be equivalent to the gross proceeds from the sale.


#4: We Provide all Necessary Tax Deduction Receipts and IRS Forms

Donate a Car 2 Charity provides a written acknowledgment of your car donation as soon as you donate your car -- either by using our online car donation form or by calling one of our operators.  If your donated car qualifies for a deduction of more than $500, we will mail the additional paperwork that you need to claim the maximum deduction for your car donation.
