You can donate almost any vehicle anywhere in Idaho to help kids dealing with critical illness. The proceeds from your donation benefit Make-A-Wish Idaho. Instead of letting your vehicle gather dust on your property, donate it to help fund wishes for families facing critical illness.

Car donation is a convenient, better alternative to get rid of an unwanted vehicle. Wheels For Wishes is also a nonprofit, so you may qualify for a great tax deduction with your donation, as long as you itemize.

Why Select Wheels For Wishes In Idaho Falls?

Wheels For Wishes has donated over $125 million to Make-A-Wish nationwide since 2010. Every child deserves a chance to simply be a kid, and vehicle donations to us give kids that chance. These generous donations help fund life changing experiences.

Thousands of donors across the country make this mission possible. American families choose vehicle donation because it takes very little effort compared to selling a car themselves, and the difference it makes is real.

The Tax Benefits of Your Idaho Falls Car Donation

You can claim your deduction only if you itemize deductions on your return. We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor about your specific situation.

You never need an appraisal to donate. We send your tax receipt within 30 days of your vehicle's sale at auction, regardless of your vehicle's market value going in.

Your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year, which makes late December a great time to donate if you're planning ahead for your return. Questions specific to your situation are best directed to the IRS or your own tax advisor.

Once your vehicle sells, your tax deductible receipt will reflect the selling price. Keep this for your records, it's the documentation you'll need when you file.

Title Transfer and Paperwork

Our team can help with the title transfer for your donation. Bring your title, and let us know your name and vehicle details so we can complete the paperwork quickly.

If you have questions about the process or run into any complications with other parties on the title, we're happy to help you work through it.
