Donating your vehicle may enable you to receive a tax deduction; however, we advise you to check with your tax accountant.

WeCARE and the charities we serve do not put a value on donated vehicles. WeCARE and the charities we serve follow IRS regulations set forth in publications 526 and 561 which state that it is the donor's privelege as well as their responsibility to estimate the value of their vehicle up to $5,000. If the donor feels that the vehicle is worth more than $5,000 the vehicle must be appraised and the 8283 form must be signed off by a certified appraiser and the charity.

WeCARE is happy to provide our donors with a Kelley Blue Book report. Kelley Blue Book reports provide our donors with a retail and wholesale value. The Kelley Blue Book Used Car Value Guide* is provided as a guideline only, and does not represent the opinion of Charities Automobile Recycling Enterprises, LLC dba WeCARE or the charities we represent.

For more information about tax deductible donations please contact the IRS at (800) 829-1040. For Legislative information about vehicle donations please see California Senate Bill 1836.
