Your Car Donation Earns A Great Tax Deduction

After your vehicle sells at auction, we mail your tax receipt reflecting the sale price. If the selling price is less than $500, you can claim the fair market value up to $500. If the sales price is above $500, you can claim the full amount.

Please speak with a tax advisor for a closer estimate on your specific situation.

Bridgeport is Connecticut's largest and most vibrant city — home to the Barnum Museum, a thriving arts scene, and a beautiful Long Island Sound waterfront. It is a city with a lot of heart, and a community that has always shown up for its neighbors. Every child deserves the opportunity to simply be a kid, and your car donation helps fund programs that make that possible.

If your tax-deductible receipt has not arrived after one calendar month, please give us a call during regular business hours and our team will be happy to help.
