Three things
are needed. (1) A clear title, which means a title with your name
listed in the owner's section, without an assignment or transfer
to another person. All liens must be released prior to donating
the vehicle. (2) Your car keys. (3) When you call or fill out our

If you plan to deduct over $500, you will be allowed a deduction
in the amount of the gross selling price of your vehicle. A Vehicles
for Charity envelope will be mailed to you within 30 days of the
sale of your vehicle, regarding the required IRS information you
will need. You may also choose to take a deduction under $500 without
written acknowledgment. THE NEW GUIDELINES WILL NOT AFFECT THE
AMOUNT YOUR CHARITY RECEIVES FOR YOUR DONATION.
