Car Donation Georgia

Car Donation GA Programs

Non-running vehicles often accepted.

Some charities offer same day pickup.

You many qualify for a nice tax deduction.

Georgia car donation programs make it a simple task to donate your vehicle to a good charity in the "Peach State."

 

Your Georgia car donation can likely be done quicker and easier than you may have thought possible.  Follow these simple steps to be on your way: 

Note:  Items 1 & 2 below are for your own protection.  So make sure you qualify the charity before donating your car or truck.  Many bogus car donation 'charities' are in operation in every state.  They may seem legitimate until you look deeper.  It's always "better to be safe than sorry."

1.  Make sure the Georgia car donation charity is operating legally.  It must be registered with the Georgia Secretary of State (link is below). 

2. Make sure the Georgia charity is registered with the IRS.  It should be listed on IRS Publication 78 (Link is below) for you to be able to get your car donation tax deduction.

3. Have the vehicle title in your possession.  Replacement titles can be gotten at the Georgia Department of Driver Services (link below).  There you will sign the vehicle's title to the charity.  (Some charities may offer to do this for you, but it is a good idea to do it yourself - to guarantee your release of liability from the vehicle.)

4. Arrange for the charity to come get the vehicle.  You shouldn't have to pay for the towing in Georgia - the charity should cover the towing. (If they say they won't, find another charity!)  Remove the license plates from the vehicle before it is towed away.

5. Save your receipts for when you file your taxes.  You must itemize your taxes to get a tax deduction.
