What do you with a title to vehicle when donate it?

Donating a vehicle can be a great way to support a charitable organization. When you donate your vehicle, you will need to transfer the title to the charity. The process for transferring the title will vary depending on the state in which you live.

In general, you will need to:

1. Complete the title transfer form. This form is available from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The information required will vary, but some common information includes: your name, the donor's name, address, make and model of the vehicle, vehicle identification number (VIN) and your signature.

2. Remove your license plates. Once you have completed the title transfer form, you must remove your license plates. You may be able to return the license plates to the DMV, or you may be able to recycle them.

3. Deliver the title transfer form and license plates to the charity. You must deliver the title transfer form and license plates to the charity in order to complete the donation. The charity will then be responsible for submitting the title transfer form to the DMV.

4. File your taxes. You may be able to deduct the value of your donated vehicle from your taxes. Be sure to consult with a tax professional to determine if you qualify for this deduction.

It is important to note that the process for donating a vehicle may vary depending on the charity. Be sure to contact the charity in advance to inquire about their specific requirements.
