Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running vehicles. Just let us know the condition, and we'll assist you with the donation process.
Title Issues
Don't worry if you’ve lost your title or it’s been misplaced. We can guide you through the duplicate title application process to ensure your donation goes through smoothly.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Don’t fret about storage! We can arrange for quick pickups in Boston, so any abandoned vehicles or inherited cars don’t linger longer than necessary.
Title transfer & paperwork
When it comes to title transfer in Massachusetts, there are specific procedures to follow, especially for vehicles without a title. You might need to file a form requesting a duplicate title from the Massachusetts DMV, which can require notarization. If the car is abandoned or inherited, you will need to return any plates and complete the necessary documentation to make the process as hassle-free as possible. Don't let the paperwork intimidate you; we’re here to help!
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating a car without a title can still yield you a nice tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the fair market value of the vehicle. After your donation, you’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which you can use to claim your deduction. Just remember, rules can change, so it’s always good to consult with a tax professional.
