I donated my car in December and the whole process was easy. They picked up my car even earlier than promised, called ahead to make sure I was home, and provided me with the receipts and paperwork needed for me to claim a deduction on my taxes. Al. . .

The IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction of:
a) The value of your vehicle up to $500. It is up to the donor to determine the fair market value.
b) The amount we sell your vehicle for - if it is more than $500.
Kars4kids is a classified 501(c)(3) charity organization. You can check with your tax advisor or accountant to determine the amount of your benefit. The deduction is of value only if the donor itemizes his or her deductions. For a more detailed overview the IRS publishes a Donors Guide to Car Donation.
