Can I get a Vacation Voucher for donating my car?

Receiving a benefit for donating a car (like a Vacation Voucher) will reduce or eliminate your tax deduction.

When donating a vehicle to Kidney Kars of Utah, the IRS expects the transaction to be a true charitable gift, meaning you don’t receive something of significant value in return.

If ANY charity offers a gift, voucher or incentive for a car donation, the IRS will view the arrangement as a quid pro quo instead of a charitable contribution.

If a charity offers you a gift as a benefit in exchange for your car donation, the value of that benefit (vacation voucher) can reduce or even eliminate your tax deduction. That’s why donors should carefully consider who and why they are choosing to donate a car.  Receiving a promotional gift will affect the tax advantages of donating your vehicle donation.

Don’t fall for Gift Vouchers (they are often for Time Share Presentations anyway).

The value of the voucher will reduce—or eliminate—the tax deduction you can claim. Because tax situations vary, donors should consult a tax professional to understand how receiving a gift or incentive may impact their individual deduction.
