Vehicle donation is not limited to passenger cars. Glenn County donors regularly give pickups, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, boats on trailers, and even snowmobiles to qualified charities.
The receiving charity mails a Form 1098-C documenting the gift. It is the single piece of paperwork the IRS expects for a car donation deduction over $500.

For most donated cars, the deductible amount is whatever the charity nets when it sells the vehicle, reported to the donor on IRS Form 1098-C. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, the donor may generally deduct the lesser of $500 or fair market value without a 1098-C.
Vehicles the charity puts to direct use rather than selling have different rules and may support a fair-market-value deduction. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm the specifics with a tax advisor.
