The proceeds from your donation go directly to help support the oldest and largest alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in the area. The program receives no government or United Way funding, but for many years has relied solely on the public's donations. The Salvation Army is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and your donation is tax-deductible (IRS Form 526). What better time than now to donate your used vehicle and receive a tax deduction.

Valuation Guide for Items Donated to The Salvation Army

New Federal Income tax regulations require donors claiming deductions for charitable contributions consisting of property other than cash worth more than $500 to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8283, "Noncash Charitable Contributions". Where the noncash charitable contribution, other than publicly traded securities, exceeds $5,000 (including 'similar property' contributed to one or more charitable organizations), the donee charitable organization must acknowledge the contribution on the form 8283. In addition, donee charitable organizations are required to file Internal Revenue Service For, 8282 'Donee Information return', when they dispose of certain property the receipt of which they have acknowledged on a Form 8283. [See IRS publication 561 (Revised February 2000). 'Determining the Value of Donated Property' for detailed information.]
