Vehicle donations made to Meals on Wheels Association of
America are tax deductible. Our organization has been designated by the IRS as
a 501c (3) charity. The best practice is to consult with a tax professional on
how to maximize your tax deduction since every car donation and tax situation
is unique. In general, the IRS limits the tax deduction to the gross proceeds
from the sale of the car, truck, or other vehicle. Charitable contributions
must be itemized on Schedule A of Form 1040 to
qualify. If the gross proceeds exceed $500, Form 1098C “Contributions of Motor
Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes” and Form 8283 "Non cash Charitable Contributions",
must also be completed and attached.
Forms 1098C and 8283 are required to be provided to the donor within 30
days of the sale of the vehicle.
To learn more on what the donors’ responsibilities are
prior to making a car donation, please consult the "Donors Guide to Vehicle Donations" found in IRS
Publication 4303. The file may be read with Adobe Reader.
