Donate when it is easier to donate rather
than sell it yourself.
Is your vehicle sellable in the shape its in? When you donate it, you can make an
itemized deduction of the retail value less the cost of repairs without having to hassle with doing repairs.
When you sell it yourself, you get much less than the retail value. The tax benefit
is often worth more than you would realize after fixing up the vehicle to sell.
No hassles, no selling, no ads. No hassles!
Donate when the tax benefits are greater
than the trade-in value offered by the dealer.
