DONATING YOUR CAR
Donating a car is a wonderful way of giving to
charity. You can claim a tax deduction for the value
of the car. Most charities sell the cars at auctions to
raise money. Under new legislation in 2005, that tax
deduction is limited to the amount at which the char
ity sells the vehicle. Perry Volunteer Outreach does
not sell donated vehicles, we give the cars away to
needy families. Therefore the tax deduction can be
based on the car’s “blue book” or other reasonable
appraisal. To find out more - call PVO at 218-2274.
