If you are considering donating your car, you may have several questions. Today’s we’d like to address some of the most frequently asked questions about car donation. Before you donate, consider these questions and the potential pitfalls and benefits to making this important donation. First of all, what specifically can be donated? Well, most car donation programs accept cars, trucks, boats, trailers, jet-skis, RV’s, snowmobiles and sometimes even motorcycles and other such vehicles. Now you might be asking whether you can donate a car that is not running, perhaps one that has not run in months or years. Is it still a vehicle you can donate? Many car donation programs will still accept them, running or not. Inquire with the specific program you are interested in donating to for their guidelines and specifications.
Now on to what you need with you when you make this car donation. You should have the keys and titles with the car, but if you happen to not have these items, make the call anyway, as some programs are able to make a pickup regardless. Again, ask the organization you are considering donating to. Also, if you are concerned about your location in the United States, pickup for your car donation is possible usually anywhere, whether you’re in California, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Alaska, etc. Organizations will typically arrange to have a licensed and insured towing company tow away the vehicle at a scheduled time that you set up with them.
How long do you have to wait for the pickup to happen? That really depends on the program to whom you’re donating your car. Usually, they will have a towing company call you within a day to schedule the pickup.
If you donate a car, is it a tax-deductible donation? Yes! Make sure you are donating to IRS-verified charitable organizations, though. Check beforehand to save time and worry and to avoid not getting the tax-deduction you deserve. Remember, though, that individual tax situations are different for each person, so talk to a tax professional to check and verify what tax benefit you are eligible to receive with your car donation. Now you may be asking, “How does tax-deduction work?” IRS allows claiming tax deductions of fair-market value of automobiles up to 0 or if the organization sells your donated car for over 0, they will mail you a complete IRS tax form 1098-C with the value stated for your taxes. Also, the IRS provides a guides for car donors, which gives complete details and rules for donating and tax-deductions.

I don’t know if all your conditions are met with this charity but you can talk to them and see if they are. It’s worth a try. It’s a worldwide military charity. I don’t know of any specifically in Michigan.
