Changes in Tax Law: Up until the end of 2004, when donating a vehicle, the donor could deduct its "fair market value" from his or her federal income taxes (this still applies to fleet donations only). Starting on January 1, 2005, the donor is able to deduct the greater of $500.00 or the amount the charity sold the car for at retail or wholesale, less repair costs. Visit the IRS for tax information or visit a local library for forms. Use Publication 526 (donating property), or Publication 561 (valuing property). When filing, you will need to submit IRS Form 8283 for donated property.
