Auto Donation Tax Deduction Forms
The tax deduction benefit for donating your car to charity was altered slightly by the IRS in 2005. Please check with a tax professional regarding your personal tax benefit.
The tax deduction generally applies to those who itemize deductions on their 1040 federal tax return. The amount of the tax deduction depends on the actual sale value of the Kidney Kar donation.
You are allowed to claim a fair market value up to $499 unless the vehicle sells $500 or more. If your Kidney Kar donation is sold for more than $500, you can claim the actual sale value as your deduction.
