KarsforKids came right out the next day after I called them and got the car. I was really amazed at the professionalism and kindness of the gentleman that picked it up. This is a great organization and I commend you all for helping children. Thank you so . . .
It is very easy. All you need is your title and the keys,. You need to take your license plates down. You do not have to do anything. Enjoy 3 days and 2 nights hotel in your vacation, and you can claim 500 tax deductible.
I donated my car in December and the whole process was easy. They picked up my car even earlier than promised, called ahead to make sure I was home, and provided me with the receipts and paperwork needed for me to claim a deduction on my taxes. Al. . .

Questions about donating a car in TX
The IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction of:
a) The value of your vehicle up to $500. It is up to the donor to determine the fair market value.
b) The amount we sell your vehicle for - if it is more than $500.
Kars4kids is a classified 501(c)(3) charity organization. You can check with your tax advisor or accountant to determine the amount of your benefit. The deduction is of value only if the donor itemizes his or her deductions. For a more detailed overview the IRS publishes a Donors Guide to Car Donation.
