Yes, Foothills Animal Shelter and Vehicles for Charity are both non-profit organizations and all donations qualify as a charitable deduction on your federal income tax return.
The title to the car must be in your name. Vehicles for Charity will need information on both the car’s condition and location in order to schedule appropriate towing arrangements.
A towing company will call you to schedule the pick-up of your vehicle. You will need to give the driver the keys to the vehicle as well as your signed title.
The IRS allows you to take a charitable tax deduction on your federal income tax form equal to the amount the vehicle sells for at auction unless it sells for less than $500. If your vehicle sells for less than $500 you may deduct no more than $500. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you will need to include the IRS form 1098C. Vehicles for Charity will supply this documentation after your vehicle sells. We recommend you consult your tax advisor with questions about your deduction.
