 deduction up to the fair market value of the vehicle.

There are a few exceptions. If the charity decides to give the car away to a needy person, or if they sell the car to a needy person for far below the fair market value, then in most cases you can claim the actual worth of your car as your deduction. Also, under the "Intervening Use Exception," if the charity uses your car for awhile before selling it, and then sells it for below the fair market value, you can claim the value of your car at the time of the donation as your deduction, since their use of the car lowered the value.

However, if the charity makes improvements to the car, increasing its value, and later sells it for more than it was worth when you donated it, you can still only claim the fair market value of the vehicle at the time of donation. Whichever circumstance applies to you, the charity should notify you in writing within 30 days of receipt of the car of their intentions for the car and the donation value. If they sell the car, they must notify you within 30 days in writing of the sale price.

Of course, deductions are not subtracted directly from your tax bill, but rather allow you to reduce your tax bill by a percentage. Exactly how much a deduction will take off your tax bill depends on your income, your tax bracket and how you file.

These donation centers and organizations usually will pick up your vehicle free of charge, prepare the title transfer requirement and take care of any and all legal documents that need to be taken care of to clear the ownership of the car.



We need to consider sharing some of our fortunes with the unfortunate.



But, even those two are needed, it can be very hard for a family to buy and maintain two cars.





When you think about it, in most major areas a car is vital for everything.





Be sure to keep and record all receipts and forms related to the car donation, and its fair market value.
