We take on the cost and logistics of free towing and selling your donated vehicle, working to get the best possible sale value for local Make-A-Wish kids and your tax receipt.
The Tax Benefits of Your Idaho Car Donation
You can claim your tax 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, so you'll have what you need well ahead of tax season, regardless of your vehicle's fair 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.
Once your vehicle sells at auction, you'll receive a written acknowledgment reflecting the selling price. If you have questions about the IRS rules for your specific situation, your tax advisor can walk you through the details.
Title Transfer, Liens, and Paperwork
Our team can help with the title transfer for your donation. Bring your title, and remember to remove your license plates before your tow driver arrives.
If there's a lien holder on record, we can walk you through what's needed before ownership transfers. Completing this step properly also protects you from future liability tied to the vehicle.
Our tow company handles the logistics and arrangements for pickup, so all you need to do is have your name, title, and vehicle details ready when we arrive.
