Step 1 of 3
Your Providence donation is tax-deductible
Your vehicle donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Veterans Care Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You will receive a donation receipt, and IRS Form 1098-C if your vehicle sells for more than $500. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific deduction.
The receipt you get at pickup is your first piece of documentation. If the vehicle sells above $500, Form 1098-C shows the gross sale amount for your return.
