- The charitable deduction for a car a charity sells is limited to the sales price, even if the car’s fair market value is higher.
- If the sales price of your donated vehicle is less than $500, you can deduct $500 or your car’s fair market value, whichever is less.
- If the charity sells the car at a significant discount to a needy individual or keeps the car for its own use, then you can claim a deduction for the car’s fair market value.
- Charities are typically required to report the sales price of your car to you on Form 1098-C.
Always check with your tax advisor for accurate, up-to-date information.
