Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a van or minivan in Georgia, make sure to transfer the title correctly. You'll need to fill out the Georgia DMV Form T-22R, which requires your signature and the buyer's info. Notarization isn’t required but can make the process smoother. Don't forget to return your license plates to the DMV—this is an important step! We can help guide you through the title transfer to ensure everything is in order.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation may qualify for a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value, depending on its condition. Just make sure to complete IRS Form 1098-C, which we’ll provide after pickup. It's a small step that can lead to big tax benefits come next filing season!
