Car Donation in South Dakota — Support Veterans

Paperwork and tax deduction in South Dakota

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.

Keep the receipt handed to you at pickup with your South Dakota tax records; Form 1098-C follows by mail when it applies.

Three steps to donate your vehicle in South Dakota

Donors in South Dakota follow the same short path from first call to tax receipt.

• Tell us about the vehicle — the short form takes about 60 seconds, or call (855) 681-1155 and a coordinator will take the details by phone.
• Schedule free pickup — a coordinator calls to arrange towing at a time that suits you, wherever the vehicle sits in South Dakota.
• Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Running or not: what qualifies in South Dakota

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from South Dakota arrive running, barely running and not running at all, and all three are useful.

A failed inspection, body damage, a dead battery or years parked in the same spot will not disqualify a donation. If you are unsure, note it on the form and a coordinator will confirm before pickup.
