Re: How do Car Donation New York for tax breaks work and are they worth it?

Your tax savings would be a percent of the deduction if you can take one, the percent being your tax bracket. For most people that are 15%, so if the car is sold for $2000 the tax savings would be $300.

You're better off financially selling it yourself, and then if you want to donate some of the money to the organization, go ahead but don't donate the car just for the tax savings, since it won't be much.
I hate to say it but I think both you and the thread starter are on the wrong site. This is a Corvette Z06 site and since you are both making your very first post, I wonder if this is the best way to start out....
