No, it will not. If you do not have taxable income then you have not paid any taxes from which to receive a refund. Furthermore, charitable donations only affect your tax due or refund when you have enough other itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction. You would be better off selling the car for whatever you can get for it.

Are you receiving any disability income?
