The engine was placed in a charity vehicle, not a personal one.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Since the Charity used the vehicle for it's own use, you will deduct the Market Value of the vehicle at the time it was donated. If the deduction will be more than $500.00 form 8283 must be filed with your return. TurboTax will walk you through entering the necessary information as it becomes necessary.
Please keep in mind that donations are Itemized Deductions that are reported in Schedule A. If the sum of your deductions in Schedule A do not exceed your Standard Deduction the deductions will not be beneficial to your return. I have included below a list of common itemized deductions. This can help you get as many of these deductions available and make an informed decision regarding your Deduction.
