Assuming you did not perform any services for the church,
the van is a tax-free gift. There is nothing to report.

Gifts you receive are not taxable.

Quoting Pub 17, "Gifts and Inheritances.
Generally, property you receive as a gift, bequest, or
inheritance is not included in your income." Only income
produced by a gift (such as dividends from gifted stock)
would qualify as taxable income.

Gifts to you are not taxable. Enjoy the van.

Gifts are not income and never reportable to the recipient.

Default Is this gift taxable?

I received a modified van because I am disabled. It was
given to me by a church. It is a '99 Caravan, worth
$23,000, with all the modifications. I just want to be sure
if it must be reported somehow on my federal tax return?
