Instructions for Donor
Caution. You must attach Copy B of Form 1098-C to
your income tax return in order to take a deduction for
the contribution of a qualified vehicle with a claimed
value of more than $500. If you do not attach this form
to your return when required, the IRS will disallow your
deduction. Generally, you also must attach Form 8283,
Noncash Charitable Contributions, if the amount you
deduct for all noncash gifts is more than $500. See the
instructions for Form 8283 for exceptions.
You received Form 1098-C because you donated a
motor vehicle, boat, or airplane (“donated vehicle”) to
the charity shown on the front of this form. Generally,
the charity must furnish this form to you no later than
30 days after the date it sold the donated vehicle (if
box 4a is checked), or 30 days after the date of the
contribution (if box 5a or 5b is checked). If none of
these boxes is checked, you must obtain this form by
the due date (including extensions) of your tax return
for the year of the contribution (or, if earlier, the date
you file that return).
Box 1. Shows the date the charity received the
donated vehicle.
Box 3. Shows the vehicle identification number (VIN)
for a motor vehicle; the hull identification number for a
boat; or the aircraft identification number for an
airplane.
Box 4a. This box is required to be checked by the
charity to certify that the donated vehicle was sold for
more than $500 to an unrelated party in an arm’s
length transaction.
Box 4c. Shows the gross proceeds the charity
received from the sale of the donated vehicle. If box 4a
is checked, you generally may take a deduction equal
to the smaller of the amount in box 4c or the vehicle’s
fair market value on the date of the contribution.
However, if that value was more than your cost or
other basis, see Pub. 526, Charitable Contributions.

Box 5a. This box is required to be checked by the
charity to certify that the donated vehicle will not be
sold before completion of a significant intervening use
or material improvement by the charity. If the box is
checked, you generally may take a deduction equal to
the vehicle’s fair market value on the date of the
contribution. However, if that value was more than
your cost or other basis, see Pub. 526.
Box 5b. This box is required to be checked by the
charity to certify that the donated vehicle is to be
transferred to a needy individual in direct furtherance
of the donee’s charitable purpose of relieving the poor
and distressed or underprivileged who are in need of a
means of transportation. If this box is checked, you
generally may take a deduction equal to the vehicle’s
fair market value on the date of the contribution.
However, if that value was more than your cost or
other basis, see Pub. 526.
Box 6b. Shows a good faith estimate by the charity of
the value of any goods and services provided to you
for the donated vehicle. Generally, the amount of your
charitable contribution is reduced by the value of the
goods and services provided. However, see the
instructions for box 6c below. Also, see Contributions
From Which You Benefit in Pub. 526.
Box 6c. This box is required to be checked by the
charity if the goods and services consisted solely of
intangible religious benefits. If checked, you do not
have to reduce the amount of your charitable
contribution by the value of such benefits. An
intangible religious benefit means a benefit that
generally is not sold in a commercial transaction, such
as admission to a religious ceremony.
Box 7. If this box is checked, your deduction in most
cases equals the smaller of $500 or the donated
vehicle’s fair market value on the date of the
contribution. However, if that value was more than
your cost or other basis, see Pub. 526.
