If you're looking for a great way to help your favorite charity you should consider used car donation. This is a definite option for anyone who wants to do a good deed and has an old car they no longer drive.

The IRS allows a deduction of up to $500 for car donation without documentation of the sale. If the charity to which you've deducted your vehicle sells the car for more than $500 they can provide you with a letter stating this fact so you can deduct the actual amount. If you have questions about the tax benefits of donating a vehicle you should contact the IRS directly or speak to a tax professional. Of course along with the tax deduction you will get the personal benefits that come with helping others. Tags: Used Car Donation
