I want to donate my car to a charity. I do want to recieve a tax deduction, but I don't want it to go to just any charity I would very much like my car to go to a needy family. I am in the Houton area. Can anybody help me or have any sugestions.

Hi Dafer,

This is a good way to help others as well as reap some benefits for yourself. Donating a car in a good charitable organization can fetch you the reward of tax reduction. You can either do it at a local charitable organization or you can find one online.

However, when you are looking for a charitable organization to donate your car, check whether or not the organization is registered with the IRS. This implies that the organization is entitled to provide some tax benefits to the donator. You should get a proper paperwork done from the organization since this paper is extremely important for you, based on which you will get your tax benefits.

Hi Dafer,

That is very thoughtful of you. I'm sure someone will really appreciate you doing this. Not real sure but have you checked with your local Red Cross. I Know they help people in so many way's. If they can't except it they should be able to lead you in the right direction. Hope this helps.
