How much you get off your taxes for a car donation is determined by rules set by the IRS.

If you itemize your deductions, you are allowed to deduct the sale price of the vehicle if sells for more than $500. If it sells for less than that, you have to figure out the fair market value of the car, which can be no more than $500. You can get an estimate of fair market value by using a site like kbb.com.

Once your car donation to your NPR station is complete, we'll provide you with a sales receipt or IRS Form 1098C. We are not able to provide specific tax advice as each individual tax situation is different. We suggest you consult your tax advisor to figure out exactly how much you can get off taxes for a car donation to your NPR station.
