- Do not fill in the name of the purchaser - Leave blank.
- If a lien ever existed on the vehicle (front lower left - Names & addresses of secured parties), WE MUST HAVE THE ORIGINAL LIEN RELEASE AGREEMENT also singed by the seller(s)
Vehicle Pick-up
When the Humane Society receives the title, we will contact the towing company and let you know of the approximate date you can expect pick up.- The vehicle has to be in a position that a tow truck can get to it.
- The keys should be left in the glove compartment of the vehicle
- Remove the tags.. you'll need to turn this into the DMV later!
- Take all personal items out of the vehicle
- We will fax in your information to the towing company as soon as you drop off the title at the Kennel. The towing company will then contact you by phone. Normally, the towing company will pick up your vehicle within 48 hours after they've made contact with you.
- You do not have to be there when they arrive!
The Thank You Letter
The HSCC will send a thank you letter to you after we know the vehicle has been towed. This letter is your proof that you donated the vehicle to the Humane Society. Click here for an example.
Turn in Your Tags
After the vehicle has been towed away, you can turn in your vehicle tags to your state Department of Motor Vehicles and let them know you've donated the vehicle.
Contacting your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance company to terminate coverage on your donated vehicle once you've turned in your tags to the DMV. Do not terminate insurance coverage until then!
Claiming Your Donation On Your Taxes
The IRS allows donors to deduct the amount received from the sale of your donated automobile, truck or boat. The Federal Tax for you use to claim your donation is IRS Form 8283. If you donate a car to charity after December 31, 2004, and you are eligible to take a tax deduction in excess of $500, your deduction is limited to the amount of gross proceeds the Humane Society receives from its sale. Once your donated vehicle has been sold by the auction company we work with, they will notify us of the net amount the Humane Society will realize as a result of its sale. We'll then send you a thank you letter and we'll let you know the net amount the Humane Society actually received from the sale of the vehicle. That will be the amount you'll be able to claim on your taxes for your donation.
Thank You for Donating Your Automobile! Your kindness enables the Humane Society
to continue helping many of the residents of our community - both pets and people-
in many ways. Please know that your thoughtfulness is appreciated and that your
support makes a difference for us all.
