The vehicles are sold at private auction. The proceeds are used to help support Siouxland Public Media. Funds from vehicle donations help Siouxland Public Media acquire and produce quality educational and entertainment programs and support our outreach efforts in the community.
Is my contribution still deductible under the new tax laws?
Under the tax law* effective in 2005, if you itemize your tax return you may deduct the sale value of your donated vehicle or the fair market value up to $500, whichever is greater. You can find more information on charitable vehicle donation tax deductions here. Since each donor’s tax situation is different, we recommend that you consult your tax professional.
