Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running
If your SUV or crossover has a functioning drivetrain, you're likely to receive a higher donation valuation. Non-running vehicles are still accepted, but their value may be lower.
Title Issues
Having a clean title makes the donation process smoother. If there are issues like liens or missing paperwork, it could complicate things, but we’re here to help navigate that.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
If your SUV or crossover is parked at home or in a storage facility, we’ll arrange a convenient pickup time that works for you, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your vehicle in Wisconsin, transferring the title is essential. You’ll need to fill out Form MV1 for vehicle title transfer. No notarization is required, but you must return the license plates to the DMV within 10 days. Make sure to give the new owner—or us—signed details on the title to avoid future complications. It’s simple and protects you from any liabilities after the donation.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation could potentially yield a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, depending on its condition and sale. Be sure to keep the IRS Form 1098-C you receive, as it serves as proof of your donation for tax purposes. This is a win-win—helping others while getting some financial benefits!
