VEHICLE DONATIONS
Give us Your Vehicle... Get a Break From Uncle Sam
Do you have a car, boat, trailer, or other type of vehicle you no longer need but would like us to put to good use? We can help. Donate the vehicle to the Red Cross. Not only will you make a great difference in the life of someone in need, but you'll get a valuable tax deduction as well. You can't lose!
We'll Even Pick it Up
We will contact you with the date the vehicle will be picked up. All vehicles must be on wheels and either in the driveway or on the street -- tow trucks will not drive into yards.
Charitable Contributions of Cars, Boats, and Other Vehicles
If you donate a car to the Red Cross Southern Maryland Chapter after, your deduction is limited to the gross proceeds from its sale by the organization. This rule applies only if the value of the donated vehicle is more than $500.
Boats and Other Vehicles
These rules also apply to donations of boats and any vehicle manufactured mainly for use on public streets, roads, and highways.
Acknowledgement required
If the claimed value of the car is more than $500, you will have a written acknowledgement of your donation from the Red Cross and must attach it to your return.
Your acknowledgement will include the following information:
- Your name and taxpayer identification number (Social Security Number).
- The vehicle identification number.
- The gross proceeds from the sale.
- The date of the contribution.
This acknowledgement will be provided within 30 days of the sale of the car.
