Where do I enter Form 1098-C?

by TurboTax330 Updated 1 month ago

If you donated a vehicle, boat, or airplane to a charitable organization, you should receive Form 1098-C from the charity within 30 days of the date they sold it (or 30 days from when you gave it to them, if the charity is keeping it for themselves).

The allowable deduction is the gross proceeds amount (box 4c) if the charity sold the donation; otherwise it would be its fair market value.

Here's how to enter a 1098-C in TurboTax:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the 1098-C section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1098-C.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for 1098-C and select the Jump to link.
  3. Answer Yes when asked if you made any donations to charity in 2024.
  4. Answer Yes when asked Do you want to enter your donations for 2024?
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter details of the donation, such as who you donated to, date purchased, price, and so forth.

When you file your return, we'll provide further instructions for what paperwork (if any) you need to mail to the IRS to support the deduction.
