Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running Vehicles
Running vehicles typically attract higher donation values, especially if they are late-model. Non-running SUVs or crossovers are welcome too, but be aware that their valuation might be lower due to repair costs.
Title Issues
If your SUV or crossover has a clean title, that’s ideal! However, if you have title issues, don't worry. We can guide you on how to resolve them and still make your donation.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We understand that you may need to store your SUV or crossover before donation. Our team will coordinate a hassle-free pickup at your convenience, making the process as smooth as possible.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your SUV or crossover in Kentucky, it’s important to handle the title transfer correctly. You’ll need to fill out the Kentucky DMV Form TC 96-182 for vehicle transfer and submit it with your current title. If required, notarization can be done to validate the document. Remember to return your license plates to the local DMV upon completing your donation to avoid future liabilities.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation could qualify for a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, depending on its condition. After the vehicle sells, you will receive IRS Form 1098-C, which details the sale price. This form will be essential for claiming your deduction during tax season, so keep it handy!
Local context — Louisville
In Louisville, SUVs and crossovers are often the go-to choice for families and adventurers alike. From the lively streets of St. Matthews to the scenic routes around Cherokee Park, these vehicles are a staple in the community. Many donations stem from changes in life circumstances like downsizing from a family SUV after the kids move out or relocating and needing to part with a rugged 4x4 that’s no longer practical. Whatever the reason, your vehicle can help local charities serve those in need while getting you some solid tax benefits!
