Itemize in Order to Benefit. Many taxpayers can’t take a deduction for their
charity car
donation because they don’t itemize deductions on their personal tax return.
For taxpayers, the decision to itemize is determined by whether their total
itemized deductions are greater than the standard deduction (for 2004, the
standard deduction is $4,850 for single filers and $9,700 for married filing
jointly). Just under one-third of the nearly 129 million individual taxpayers
itemized in 2000, the last year for which complete data is available. Please
check with your tax specialist. Please make your charity car donation to disABLEDperson
Inc.
Calculate the Fair Market Value. The donor must take many factors into
consideration to establish the value of the car. Many used-car buying guides
contain step-by-step instructions so that readers can make adjustments to the
value of a car for accessories, mileage and other indicators of its general
condition. Publication 526, Charitable Deductions, and Publication 561,
Determining the Value of Donated Property, provide detailed instructions. Please
make your charity car donation to disABLEDperson Inc.
Deduct Only the Car’s Fair Market Value. Some car donation program operators
have mistakenly claimed that donors can take the full value of their car as
listed in a used-car buyer’s guide for a deduction. The IRS, however, only
allows a charity car donation deduction for the fair market value of the car. Fair market value takes
into account many factors, including the vehicle’s condition. The fair market
value of the taxpayer’s charity car donation may be substantially different than the full
used-car buyer’s guide. Please make your charity car donation to disABLEDperson Inc.
Document the Charitable Contribution Deduction. For your charity car donation, taxpayers
must document the charity car donation and its fair market value. Record keeping
requirements are comprehensive and vary depending on the amount of the
contribution and the total amount of the charitable deduction. Publication 526
details requirements for the types of receipts taxpayers must obtain and the
forms they must file. Please make your charity car donation to disABLEDperson Inc.
Contact State Charity and IRS Officials When in Doubt. Donors with questions
about whether a contribution is deductible should call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040
or for TTY/TDD help, call 1-800-829-4059.
