A few years ago you used to be able to write off the full amount of the Kelly Blue Book value of the car you donated. But since lawmakers have tightened up the laws you can now only claim what the car sold for by the donated company. If the Salvation Army strictly donates the car as a gift and doesn't sell it you will need to contact them to find out the amount you can claim on your taxes.
