Donate Your Old Car and Save Thousands on Your Bill~

.
From Taxes.Suite101.com: Did you realize that your clunk car can save thousands of dollars on your bill?
;-)

What will you do with your old car? Sell it? Trade with another one? :-) Some of us may already know how to get rid of our unwanted car, but there is one more option many of us wouldn't consider - by donating to a non-profit charity organizations.

Car donations - can we do it online? Before we make up our mind choosing any charity body out there, we need to check whether they accept our car or not. Because there are many organizations out there, it is best for us to check their terms and conditions first. Some would offer free towing and the price evaluation, and some might give rewards or vouchers for our sign of goodwill.

Donating a car is a very simple process, and can be quite rewarding too. Strangely, when it comes to giving our things for free, we feel reluctant. Instead of leaving our unused car to rust within our yard, why not we give it away for them to use? It might not be much for us, but it means so much to them - a sincere love and care from us.   ;-)

But that is not the icing on the cake. When we donate our car, two great thing happens - they get our love and we get our tax deduction. Surprised? No I think, heehee~ ;-P

So, much is our tax can be deducted from donating a car? And how to assess the write off benefits? To know more about this, visit the links below and read the two example to helps us understands the benefits of car donation and how we can save thousands on our bill~~ ;-)

Helpful Answer: Car Donation and Tax Benefit

.
This question is found in AnswerBag.com: What is the tax benefit for me to donate my vehicle?

Yup, we deserve a tax deduction when we donate our old or used car to the charity. According to the new rule, the amount of tax deduction we can claimed now is limited to gross proceeds of the auction (or sale) for that car. Previously, car donor's can claim up to the car's fair market value on their tax returns. Our chosen charity would then send us the paperwork, and the amount stated is the amount where we can deduct from our tax.

There also a limit when we want to claim a higher tax cut. For vehicle that worth $500 and more, we need to enclosed proper written acknowledgment from our charity of choice. Plus, to be elligible for the tax deduction from our car donation, we need to itemize our car sale (get the receipt) and attached our written acknowledgment together~

Not all car donations can get your tax deducted~

.
It's not a shocking news - your goodwill does not do any good to you back. Seriously.
;-P

Helping other people who need your used car more than you do is consider very very helpful. It's a life-saving for others because your donated car can help them earning more income by doing more activities, they can go extra mile reaching the community for help, or they can sell the car for other charitable purposes. It does feel good knowing your car do good deed on behalf of you~~   ;-)

In this modern world, your good gesture sometimes pays you big time, but sometimes you might get nothing at all. Don't expect you'll get returned each time you lend your hands, but by donating a car, you should be able to get your tax deducted according to the amount of your donation. (T&C applies~) But sometimes just by donating your car you probably won't get anything back.

The reason behind this is your donated cars for your preferred charity is not in the list of IRS-recognized charity. There is a lot of charity body out there, but only those who have been recognized by IRS is eligible to get your taxes deducted. Several reasons to explain this is that charity organizations recognized by IRS is already been verified by them legal to carry out charitable activities, and they also have filed their annual returns successfully and this is to ensure that our contributions is safe from unknown or shady organizations.
