Tax benefits for car donations are generally based on auction prices. Once you choose to donate your car, the vendor will take your car to market and sell it for its maximum price. This price will be the amount of the tax deduction you are eligible to take.
This topic has received much attention and gone through a number of changes and requires strict compliance now. The process described is one of many that determines the value of the deduction, (the value of the tax benefit depends on your own situation - if you have no taxable income, or only use the standard deduction - you may not receive much of a tax reduction by the added deduction) -
However, the important thing is the donation must be done to a charity that hold itself as qualified to accept these donations - as they are the one - through that auction or other process - that report the value. And report things to the IRS. Many charities/cos are qualified to do this and make arrangements with those that aren't to handle any donations they may receive). Just make sure it's being done by someone qualified, otherwise it is the same as taking it to the junkyard.
