Your questions, answered.

The amount you can claim from the IRS as a tax deduction depends on the category applicable to you:
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.
Kars4Kids accepts donations of virtually all kinds of vehicles, including but not limited to: car, snow plow, boat, bus, jet ski, truck, airplane, van, trailer, motorcycle, ATV, tractor, commercial, fleet and RV (motor home) donations. Sorry, no kids.

1. Remove all plates
All plates must be removed from your car prior to towing. Along with the plates, the frames and fasteners must be removed.

2. Return your plates to the DMV or transfer them to another vehicle
In New York State, plates must be surrendered to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) except in the case where the plates are transferred to a second vehicle on the spot. License plates can be mailed to the DMV or dropped off in person.

Find your closest DMV
NY Counties: A through D
NY Counties: E through M
NY Counties: N through R
NY Counties: S through Y

Or mail the plates to:
Department of Motor Vehicles
2799 Route 112
Medford, NY 11763
The DMV considers the postmark date as the date of surrender for your license plates. Make sure to include a current return mailing address. An FS-6T receipt will be sent to you by the DMV at the address you supply. If you would like to be notified that your plates have been received, you may mail your plates by registered or certified mail at any U.S. Post Office, making sure to request a return receipt.

3. Cancel your insurance
Cancel your insurance after your car has been towed.
