File IRS Form 1098-C online

Form 1098-C reports the donation of qualified vehicles to eligible charitable organizations. This form is issued by the charity to the donor and to the IRS. It provides details about the donated property, such as its fair market value.

Charities must file Form 1098-C with the IRS when they receive a donation of a motor vehicle, boat, or airplane worth over $500. This includes reporting:

• The fair market value of the donated property
• Details about the donor
