1098-C rules
A donee organization must file a separate Form 1098-C, Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes, with the IRS for each contribution of a qualified vehicle that has a claimed value of more than $500. A qualified vehicle is any motor vehicle manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways; a boat; or an airplane. However, property held by the donor primarily for sale to customers, such as
inventory of a car dealer, is not a qualified vehicle. Contemporaneous Written Acknowledgment. If a donor contributes a qualified vehicle to you with a claimed value of more than $500, you must furnish a contemporaneous written acknowledgment of the contribution to the donor under section 170(f)(12) containing the same information shown on Form 1098-C. Otherwise, the donor cannot claim a deduction of more than $500 for that vehicle. Copy B of Form 1098-C may be used for this purpose. An
acknowledgment is considered contemporaneous if it is furnished to the donor no later than 30 days after the:
• Date of the sale, if you are required to check box 4a; or
• Date of the contribution, if you are required to check box 5a or 5b
with regard to your 1040 here are the requirements in order to claim more than $500 for the vehicle
If you deduct more than $500 for a contribution of a motor vehicle you must also attach a statement from the charitable organization to your paper return (you can't e-file). The organization may use Form 1098-C to provide the required information.
