The IRS’s car donation tax law, allows the taxpayer to claim a charitable tax deduction as follows:

  • If vehicle is sold for less than $500, you can claim the fair market value of your car donation up to $500 or the amount it is sold for if less than fair market value.
  • If the vehicle sells for more than $500, you can claim the exact amount as an auto donation tax deduction for which the vehicle is sold.
