If you have a car that is not been used or is no-longer-wanted, then you can donate it to get tax benefits, besides becoming popular in the United States. Few says that car donation is a tax shelter and the centers for Car Donations are increasing every year.
There are some formalities to be maintained in car donations to get the tax benefits such as getting written acknowledgement of the subsequent sale of the car by the charity, and also instead of taking standard deduction; one can opt for itemizing tax returns.
