Donating a Used Vehicle — How it Works from the IRS

To receive a tax deduction for a donated vehicle, you must include any charitable contributions itemized on Schedule A of Form 1040. You will need to include your charity auto donation tax-deductible receipt with your tax return.

You do not need to submit Form 1098-C if your vehicle sells for less than $500. The Second Chance Cars receipt for your donated vehicle is sufficient documentation for the IRS.

For vehicles valued at $5,000 or more, Form 8283 will need to include a signature from a qualified appraiser on IRS Form 8283, section B.

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor’s Guide to Car Donations IRS Guide 4303, which details the determination of the value of your donated vehicle.

Paying back the loan makes me feel good… I feel responsible again.
