Residents of New York can now get rid of their old car or cars and help some kids that need it in the process. All it takes is a phone call, a big heart and a car to donate. But this is not all one sided: the car owners also get a little benefit out of the deal. The proceeds of the transactions go entirely to local children’s charities and the car owner gets a tax break from Uncle Sam.
These types of charities are popping up all over the country. Like all of them, Car Donation 4 Kids is totally non-profit. None of the money that is collected is used for the organization. All of it goes to local chapters and charities assisting local children with cancer and their families. The organization depends entirely on private donations and contributions to remain in operation.
Car Donation 4 Kids is a registered 501C(3) organization and is 100% reputable and legitimate.
The process of donating your car is simple and consists of three steps. First, you fill out a form on the web site athttp://cardonation4kids.org/ or call 866-674-4528 for an appointment to pick up the vehicle. Next, the vehicle will be picked up by a tow truck or flatbed at no charge to you. Finally, you receive a tax form and a charity receipt as proof of your donation. The car is then towed away and you are done.
This is made even easier by Car Donation 4 Kids offering to pick up vehicles at your home, office or any other location: even the repair shop. Just contact them, make the appointment, give the address where the car is and meet the tow truck driver there. He will have your documents all ready for you to sign. If you cannot be at the pick up personally, you can make arrangements to leave the keys somewhere and the driver will leave the documents there for you or have them mailed to you.
Even car owners that cannot find their title can donate their car in this manner. You may need to fill out a little more paperwork, but you can donate the vehicle without the title in hand. Your IRS forms and charity receipt are given on the spot. So when you do your taxes next year, you will get a tax break on the donation.
Why would you want to donate a car to a charity? The reasons are simple and very straightforward.
Car Donation 4 Kids accepts cars in ANY condition, whether running or not. So if your car is in need of expensive repairs, just donate it and put that repair money towards another car that runs. The towing is free and that car is out of your way. Then there is the tax credit you get.
How much of a tax break can you get like this?
According to IRS publication 4303, you may claim a tax deduction equal to the value of your vehicle up to $500 or if the vehicle is sold for more than $500, in which case a completed IRS tax form 1098-C will be mailed to the donor with that value for your tax purposes.
Occasionally, the Fair Market Value may be issued to the donor.
Donations are accepted 24 hours a day and seven days a week online at http://cardonation4kids.org/ or by phone at 866-674-4528 or 1-800-694-9335. The operator will tell you when to expect the truck to arrive. Have your title ready (if you have it) and the keys (if you have them). Cars in all conditions are accepted and no vehicles are turned away.
We urge you to call Samuel Anthony today at 866-674-4528 for more information.
Donate your old car, help some kids that desperately need it and get a break next tax season all at the same time.
