Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your vehicle's market value and suitability for donation.
Their team verifies clear title, runs the vehicle history, and prepares all necessary transfer paperwork.
The title is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 1098-C for tax deduction purposes.
The vehicle is sold or put to use by the charity, and proceeds fund their mission.
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.
Straight answers on donating your car, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Almost any make is accepted — domestic, import, and luxury vehicles are all routinely donated. Acceptance is driven more by title status, location, and condition than by brand.
Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Johns Creek vehicle and request a free pickup. From there the donor is connected with a qualified 501(c)(3) that schedules the tow, accepts the signed title, and mails the IRS Form 1098-C.
A duplicate title can be ordered from the state DMV; the receiving charity can usually wait while the replacement arrives. Donating a vehicle without any title is rarely possible.
Yes, it is a good idea. The information here is general, and a tax professional can confirm how a vehicle gift affects a specific deduction, income, and filing situation.
For most vehicles, the deduction equals the amount the charity nets at sale, reported on Form 1098-C. Cars sold for $500 or less generally support a deduction of the lesser of $500 or fair market value. Actual tax savings depend on the donor's income, filing status, and itemized total.
Yes, but every name on the title generally must sign the transfer. Jointly titled vehicles are common donations once all owners agree.
