Vehicle donation is not limited to passenger cars. Clay 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.
Donors who itemize can deduct the Clay County vehicle's qualifying value on their federal return. For most cars, that figure is the amount the charity nets when the vehicle is sold.

A car that no longer starts is one of the worst things to try to sell — buyers steeply discount for the unknowns, and tow costs come out of the seller's pocket. The vehicle still owes registration, though, and most policies require some kind of insurance even on a parked car.
Qualified charities accept non-running vehicles directly. Towing is included at no cost, the title transfers at pickup, and the IRS Form 1098-C arrives once the charity processes the vehicle. The owner is rid of the car and the costs that came with it in a single appointment.
A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from vehicle to impact. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)
