Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept SUVs and crossovers in a variety of conditions, but working drivetrains often yield the highest donation values. If your vehicle is running, you’ll likely see a greater tax deduction, especially for late-model models.
Title Issues
If you have title issues, don’t worry. We can guide you through the process of resolving any discrepancies. A clean title helps maximize your vehicle's donation value.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Don't let your vehicle sit idle! We offer convenient pickup options throughout Albany. Just let us know where your SUV or crossover is parked, and we’ll handle the rest.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating an SUV or crossover in New York, transferring the title is a crucial step. You’ll need to complete the relevant form (MV-907A) and have it signed by the donor. Ensure that the title is notarized before submitting it to the DMV. Also, remember to return your license plates to the DMV or dispose of them properly to avoid any future liabilities.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate an SUV or crossover, you can expect a tax deduction that typically ranges between $500 and $5,000, depending on the vehicle's condition and market value. After your donation, we’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C to help you claim your deduction accurately during tax season.
