More and more people are seeing the benefits in donating their old cars, vessels, and RVs rather than selling them, which really helps society.

By donating your old vehicles instead of selling them, you definitely help someone else. But did you know that you can also help yourself with a tax deduction due to the donation?

With so many non-profit organizations to choose from, you are sure to find one with a mission you can really stand behind. Many charities support humanitarian efforts both at home and abroad. Other charities support educational programs on TV, radio, and in the newspapers.

If you've been trying to figure out how to get that old car that no longer runs out of your driveway, you'll really appreciate the donation process. The charity or a representing agent will arrange to have it towed from your property.

It is extremely easy to donate a car, and the state of the vehicle is usually not an issue. Charities that accept car donations will most often accept any kind of vehicle, regardless of its' condition.

As long as the car is worth more than what the charity will pay to have it towed from your property, they will most likely take it. You'll want to get an IRS form 4303. This is the form that you will later need for your tax deduction.

You will need to have a clear title on the car, which confirms that no money is owed on the car, you are legally the owner of the car, and you have no outstanding obligations to the DMV.

It is very important for the non-profit organization to secure these documents during your donation. Without them, the car would be worthless as they would not be able to resell it.

Have you lost your car title? Don't worry. The process may take a bit longer, but many charities will even help you to prepare the necessary paperwork to get a replacement title.
