Checking box 5a makes no difference. I am still getting "Your entered value was $5,000 but the form 1098-C or other statement value was zero. We will change your entered value to match the Form 1098-C amount unless you qualify for one of the following: The charity made a significant use of vehicle before they sold it. the charity made a material improvement to the vehicle before they sold it. The charity gave or sold the vehicle at a reduced price to a needy individual. None of the above." None of the above is the only one that would apply to my situation.
