How do I calculate the value of my donated RV?

Thanks to new tax law, the IRS has taken the guesswork out of determining the value of your RV, motor home, camper trailer or other recreational vehicle. Beginning in January 2005, you may deduct the full price we receive for the sale of your vehicle. This greatly simplifies the process for you, the donor, because you no longer have to research and come up with an estimate of the fair market value of the vehicle. This also eliminates the risk of you getting into trouble by overstating the value of your deduction on your tax return. You’ll know exactly the amount you may deduct, eliminating guesswork, and saving you both time and risk.

You will receive a receipt at the time we pick up your vehicle, and as a follow-up we will send you a second receipt as soon as we sell it, letting you know the exact amount for which it sold. That amount is your tax deduction.

For any donors who submitted their donation to Family Care Foundation prior to January 1st, 2005, or, for donors who will deduct no more than $500 for their vehicle, the following information may be helpful concerning your RV’s value for tax deduction purposes:

We can refer you to an IRS Publication which explains how the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property; you can find this IRS publication on our IRS vehicle donation information page.

You can also check these links to help help you determine the value of your RV, motorhome or camper:

NADA guides: Check values for Recreational Vehicles, motorhomes, campers, trailers and 5th wheels for 1986 - 2002

RV Pricing Information: Useful information on how to determine the fair market value of your RV or motorhome.

If your RV donation is worth more than $5,000 then you will need an appraisal and a signed 8283 tax form for your tax purposes, which we will provide at no cost to you.

How will my RV be picked up?
We will arrange to have your RV or motorhome either towed or picked up at a scheduled time.

How can I schedule a pickup?
Please complete and submit our online vehicle donation form or call us toll free at
1-800-992-2383.

How long will it take for my vehicle to be picked up?
We can normally pick up your RV or motorhome within a few days. If you need it picked up sooner, please call and we will try to make arrangements to fit your schedule.

What are the requirements for claiming my RV donation as a tax deduction?

• The IRS requires that the charity you donate to must be a registered 501(c)3 organization. Family Care Foundation is an IRS registered 501(c)3 nonprofit.

Family Care Foundation will issue a receipt to you giving our tax ID number.

• You must keep this receipt with your tax records as proof of your tax-deductible RV donation.
