So he donates a car to another friend or stranger HE doesn’t want to donate to a charity but to another person. Can he still get a tax write off? If so what does he need to have ?

    That is known as a gift and it is not deductible. The tax code allows deductions for charitable contributions because congress wants to encourage charity, but congress doesn’t care if you give a gift to a friend and so no tax deduction is allowed.

    He can’t. It has to be a non-profit organization to get a tax write-off.

    You can only get a deduction for charitable contributions to non-profit organizations, then it needs to be in “good” shape.

    uh…the only way is if the person is a charitable org.
    period.
    Otherwise all car transfer’s would be “donations”
