If you claim a deduction of more than $5,000 (per item) you must obtain a qualified appraisal of the item or group of items and fill out Form 8283 (TurboTax will complete this for you).
When you donate a car that is valued more than $500, you should receive a Form 1099-C or a written statement for the donation.
Also, if your total noncash donations are $5,000 or more, you will not be able to e-file your tax return, which includes Form 8283.
Starting in tax year 2024, the IRS requires a Form 8283 that has a noncash donation where the donee's name is listed and the appraised value is $5,000 or more, then the return must be mailed in with an acknowledgment from the donee. You can follow the steps here to print and file your tax return.
