Title transfer & paperwork
In Texas, transferring the title of a classic or collector car has specific requirements. You’ll need to complete Form 130-U and may require notarization, especially for vehicles over a certain value. When donating, remember to return your old license plates to the DMV and ensure you’ve completed all steps properly. Our team will guide you through the nuances, ensuring a seamless title transfer experience.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating a classic or collector car can offer tax deductions that range widely, often falling between $500 and $5,000 depending on the fair-market value. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C to help you document your donation for tax purposes. It’s important to consult a tax advisor for specifics related to your unique situation, especially with higher-value collector cars.
