Cars for Homes: Your car donation can help a family in your community build a house and the hope of a better life! Car donations to Habitat’s Cars for Homes™ program help your Habitat for Humanity of Dodge County, Inc. build houses in partnership with families in need of decent, affordable shelter within your community. Cars should be in running condition with four inflatable tires. It is quick and easy to donate a car, truck, boat, RV, motorcycle, construction equipment or other automobile, and your vehicle donation may be eligible for tax deduction purposes if you itemize. (Consult the IRS or your tax adviser for details.) Habitat for Humanity International is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. If you itemize deductions on your income tax return, it may be possible to claim a deduction for your car donation. In general, donors who itemize their taxes may deduct the fair market value of any donated car up to $499. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you may deduct the full selling price. You will receive the appropriate receipt from Habitat for Humanity for your car donation. For more information, see IRS Publication 4303, A Donor’s Guide to Vehicle Donations, at the IRS Web site and consult with your own tax adviser.
