Dealing with a physical disability or chronic illness can make even everyday tasks difficult, including managing the sale of your vehicle. While selling your car may seem like the obvious choice, it can often be more challenging than it appears.

Honest about limitations
While donating your vehicle can be a great solution, it's essential to understand that not all donors will benefit from a tax deduction. If you're not earning an income or do not have a tax liability, such as many individuals on fixed incomes or with disabilities, you may not see a financial return from your donation. Moreover, if your vehicle sells for under $500, the deduction might not apply at all. We encourage you to consult with a tax professional to understand how this may affect you.
