Here is One Solution. If you have an extra car and are looking for a way to reduce your in- come taxes, here is one recommendation. You will get a tax deduction of $500 or more when you donate car to charity. Sadly, many charities will only let you donate car that is running, is in decent shape or is less than 10 years old. Cars4Charities does not care what condition your car is in; they will gratefully accept it no matter what shape it is in, how old it is or if it does not run. They only require that you have a title free of liens for your vehicle or some other proof that you are the owner, that your car is not striped of any parts, that the tires on your car are not fl at, and that it is parked in a place where a tow truck can easily get to it. Cars4Charities will pick up your car donation fast and free, too! In return for your charitable contribution, you will receive a tax deduc- tion of $500 or what Cars4Charities is able to sell your car donation for, whichever amount is greater. They will also provide you with all the forms you will need to fi le with your taxes so you can claim your valu- able tax deduction. Cars4Charities also lets you donate car at your leisure online through their website, http://www.cars4charities.org/. This option greatly low- ers their expenses and is benefi cial for the environment since it reduces the use of paper and other consumables. You can donate your car to any of hundreds of very deserving charities at Cars4Charities, including many local food banks, homeless shelters, hospices, etc. When you are ready to donate car, please contact Cars4Charities at http://www.cars4charities.org/ or call 1-866-448-3487. They will glad- ly explain the entire car donation process to you and provide you with prompt and professional service.
