How to Donate a Car for Tax Deduction in Minnesota
- 1). Choose a charity to donate your vehicle to. Many charities in Minnesota, such as Habitat for Humanity, Wheels for Wishes, Vehicles for Veterans and Newgate Education Center, accept car donations. There are hundreds of other charities in Minnesota that will accept your car donation. You can contact the charity of your choice to ask if it is currently accepting vehicle donations.
- 2). Contact the charity of your choice by visiting its Web site to fill out a car donation form. Fill out the donation form, which requires your name, address, phone number and the information for the vehicle you want to donate. Be sure you have the title to your car before filling out the online donation form.
- 3). Submit your donation form online and schedule an appointment for a tow truck company to come to your home and pick up your donation, even if your car is in working order. The charity you choose to donate your car to will contact you to schedule this appointment after you have submitted your donation application. A copy of your donation receipt will be mailed to you once the car has been donated. You will need this receipt for tax purposes if you choose to deduct the donation of your vehicle.
