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.
