The Tax Benefits Of Vehicle Donations

With our vehicle donation program, donating your car is tax-deductible. Here's how you get tax benefits for vehicle donations:

  • Our charity sells your vehicle, donating crucial funding to Make-A-Wish.
  • Our experienced team maximizes the value of your vehicle by auctioning or recycling it.
  • We get an independent appraisal, and the great sales price is what you see on your donation receipt. Whatever your vehicle sells for, you see reflected on your donation receipt.
  • If your vehicle sells for under $500, you can claim the fair market value up to $500.
  • If you car sold for more, your written receipt will reflect the gross revenue.

Donating your car should be beneficial for your financial situation. Donating most vehicles is a generous sacrifice for your local community.

We follow IRS guidelines to get you a great tax deduction for your charity. A tax deduction is just one of the benefits our vehicle donation program provides when you donate your car to benefit local communities.
