An acknowledgment containing a certification described in box 5a or
5b will be presumed to be false or fraudulent if the qualified vehicle is
sold to a buyer other than a needy individual (as explained in the
instructions for box 5b) without a significant intervening use or material
improvement (as explained in the instructions for box 5a) within 6
months of the date of the contribution. If a charity sells a donated vehicle
at auction, the IRS will not accept as substantiation an acknowledgment
from the charity stating the vehicle is to be transferred to a needy
individual for significantly below fair market value (FMV). Vehicles sold at
auction are not sold at prices significantly below FMV, and the IRS will
not treat vehicles sold at auction as qualifying for this exception.

A donee organization must file a separate Form 1098-C, Contributions of
Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes, with the IRS for each contribution
of a qualified vehicle that has a claimed value of more than $500. A
qualified vehicle is any motor vehicle manufactured primarily for use on
public streets, roads, and highways; a boat; or an airplane. However,
property held by the donor primarily for sale to customers, such as
inventory of a car dealer, is not a qualified vehicle.

Donor's TIN
See part J of the current General Instructions for Certain Information
Returns for details on requesting the donor's TIN. If the donor does not
provide a TIN, you must check box 7 because the acknowledgment will
not meet the requirements of section 170(f)(12) and the donor will not be
allowed to claim a deduction of more than $500 for the qualified vehicle.

For any vehicle contributed, this number is generally affixed to the
vehicle. For a motor vehicle, the vehicle identification number (VIN) is 17
alphanumeric characters in length. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual
for the location of the VIN. For a boat, the hull identification number is 12

Box 4a. Vehicle Sold in Arm's Length
Transaction to Unrelated Party
If the vehicle is sold to a buyer other than a needy individual (as
explained in the instructions for box 5b) without a significant intervening

you must certify that the sale was made in an arm's length transaction
between unrelated parties. Check the box to make the certification. Also

claimed value of $500 or less.
Box 6a. Checkbox for Whether Donee Provided

faith estimate of the value of those goods and services including
intangible religious benefits. Include the value of any goods and services

vehicle will not be transferred for cash, other property, or services before
completion of the use or improvement. Also complete box 5c. Skip this
box if the qualified vehicle has a claimed value of $500 or less.
An intangible religious benefit is one that is provided by an
organization organized exclusively for religious purposes and which
generally is not sold in a commercial transaction outside the donative
context.
There is significant intervening use only if the organization actually
uses the vehicle to substantially further the organization's regularly
conducted activities, and the use is significant, not incidental. Factors in
determining whether a use is a significant intervening use include its
nature, extent, frequency, and duration. For this purpose, use includes
providing transportation on a regular basis for a significant period of time
or significant use directly relating to training in vehicle repair. Use does
