I donated my deceased fathers truck in his name. now when I want to claim website says he has to be deceased after 1/1/2019 and he passed in nov 2018 please help

Since he died in 2018, you would need to file his final personal tax return in that year, 2018. If his property went into an estate, you would need to file an estate tax return in 2019 if his income from the estate was more than $600. You would then deduct the contribution of the vehicle on the estate tax return.

The property would either have to be in his estate or transferred to his heirs if no estate was set up. If you took ownership of the truck and then donated it to charity, then you would claim the deduction on your tax return based on the fair market value of the vehicle.
