So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

To Offer And To Receive: Donate Your Vehicle

By Otto Tillberry


Was there ever a moment where you wanted to dump a car yet not sure how to do it? Many people today are finding it easy to donate their vehicles. You present your automobile to a charity, and have a tax break in return. When the charity gets your automobile, they will be able to sell it and use the earnings to help their cause. In fact, some charities possess their own used car lots such as the Red Cross. Some sell the cars in raffles, or auction them to the highest bidder, or just rely on them in doing the work of the charity.

The charities essentially have their own ways on how the cars should be distributed. They evaluate the vehicles they receive to find out where they should go. Here is a straightforward example of just what a charity could do with a currently donated truck or car. There may be a charity that is associated with several programs, like aiding people find jobs, provide food for the homeless or managing an educational fund. They will likely check the donated vehicle to see if it operates well or not. If it works well, they can use the car to deliver food or leased to an individual who is starting their life over.

As many charitable organizations are funded through donations made by everyday people, they made the actual procedure to donate a car really easy. Other than the donation forms, all charitable organizations deliver the important IRS forms for you to claim your deductions. So for you to properly receive your tax deduction, you will get all the important documentation from the charity. While you donate the car, you will receive a tax voucher that expresses the value of the car. The price of the automobile will depend on the current blue book fair market price.

When you file your tax, to get the deduction, you need all documentation that specifics the transaction from the charity. Generally an honest estimate of the value of the vehicle, and that you weren't repaid any money or service in exchange for the car. You must receive everything within thirty days of your donation, or the car cannot be used as a deduction. People are worried about all the work needed to donate the vehicle but this is no worse than selling it yourself.

The good thing about donating is usually that you are assisting somebody, and you are reaping rewards in return. It will not only meet you monetarily but it will even make you feel good inside. After you realize the extent charities go through to raise funds, give them an added benefit when donating your automobile. And, to have them get extra for the car, deliver the car in person in lieu of having them tow it for you.
