Frequently Asked
Questions
|
Does my car have to be running to
qualify for donation?
Your car does not need to run, but it must have an
engine and be towable. Cars that are in extremely poor
condition or out of our tow range may be declined, as
the cost to tow them may be more than the value of the
vehicle. Call our representative to find out if your
vehicle qualifies.
What paperwork do I need?
The only paperwork needed is a signed title.
Do I get a receipt for my
donation?
Yes. Our driver will issue a receipt at the time of
pick-up. This is not your final tax receipt. The initial
acknowledgement will indicate your name, the year, make
and model and the condition of the vehicle you are
donating.
A final acknowledgement will be mailed to you within 30
days of the sale stating the amount of gross proceeds
received from your vehicle. This will be your receipt
for your charitable, tax deductible car donation.
What can I claim as a deduction?
If the claimed value of the donated vehicle exceeds
$500, the taxpayer is limited to the gross proceeds of
the sale.
What if my car is valued over
$5000?
Effective January 1, 2005, you will no longer be
required to have vehicles appraised. The amount of gross
proceeds received from your vehicle is the value you are
allowed to claim.
What does our organization do
with donated vehicles?
Vehicles are sold at private auction. The funds from
vehicle donations are used to support the programs and
services of Jewish Family & Children’s Services of
Southern Arizona. Your donation will go directly to help
fund vital programming for those most in need in our
community.
How quickly can my vehicle be
picked up?
Vehicles are picked up at a time that is convenient for
you. Call our representative to find out the available
times in your neighborhood. |
