About Your Tax Deduction
When you donate a vehicle, the IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value of the car (or the gross proceeds if sold). We provide the paperwork you need — Form 1098-C for vehicles valued over $500. Always consult a tax advisor for advice specific to your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions — Car Donation St. Louis
Does the car need to run to be donated?
No. We accept vehicles in any condition — non-running, wrecked, flood-damaged, or high-mileage. If the car sits on your property, we'll bring a flatbed and haul it away for free.
How do I get my tax receipt?
We provide the receipt at pickup. For vehicles over $500, we issue an IRS Form 1098-C. Keep this for your records when filing taxes.
Do I need the title to donate?
Yes — a valid title in your name is required to transfer ownership. If you've lost your title, call us and we'll walk you through how to obtain a duplicate in Missouri or Illinois.
