HOW TO DONATE A CAR, BOAT OR TRAILER TO PAWSOME PALS ANIMAL RESCUE
Donating your car or vehicle to Pawsome Pals Animal Rescue can be a great way to get a 2023 federal tax deduction (state income tax deductibility depends on state law). By donating a boat, trailer or car, you can receive a donation receipt from Pawsome Pals Animal Rescue for your end-of-year taxes deductions. A tax write-off for a car donation is a way that you can benefit from the non-cash charitable donation of a motor vehicle.

If your donated car sells for more than $500, you will be able to claim the exact amount for which your vehicle sold with a 1098-c form or a 8283 form. The Form 1098 C is specifically for motor vehicles, the Form 8283 is for general property. Both can be used to file for a car donation.

FAQs
How Do I Donate My Vehicle?
First, fill out the online donation form above.
Next, we’ll make arrangements to tow your vehicle within 24 hours of the next business day.
Finally, when the car donation process is complete, we’ll email you your tax deductible receipt.
What Do I Do With My Vehicle Title?
Most states require that you have a clear title to the vehicle; some states also require a notarized signature to complete a donation. If your state requires a notary to sign the document, do not sign the title until you are in the presence of a notary. If you cannot locate or have lost the Certificate of Title, we can help you obtain the proper documentation.
Can I Donate My Car If It Doesn’t Run?
Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles whether they run or not. Even if your car hasn't run for years, you can donate it to charity. Donating your car that doesn't run versus trying to sell it is typically less stressful and more beneficial. In most cases, non-running cars are recycled. Regardless of whether your car runs or not, the proceeds from its sale benefit Pawsome Pals Animal Rescue.
What Paperwork Do I Need to Donate?
In most cases we will need the title to the vehicle, but each state has its own requirements. Even if you do not have title papers, contact us anyway; other arrangements can be worked out in most cases. You may contact us by sending an email to info@pawsomepals.org
What Type of Vehicles Can Be Donated?
We accept most cars, trucks, vans, fleet vehicles, trailers, boats, motorcycles, and RVs, subject to approval.
Can I Deduct the Vehicle Donation?
Yes, vehicles donated to registered nonprofit organizations are tax deductible. Because we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your car donation to Pawsome Pals Animal Rescue is completely tax deductible. After we receive your car donation, we will mail you a receipt that states your tax deduction amount. In general, if the car you donate sells for less than $500, you can claim the fair market value of your vehicle up to $500. If your donated vehicle sells for more than $500, you will be able to claim the exact amount for which your car sold.
