Q. If I contact the CARS Donation Program will I get a tax benefit in 2023?
A. If you contact CARS at 877-KUT-4-CAR or 877-588-4227 at any time during the 2023 year, you may use the donation as a potential deduction for 2023. Your car does not have to be picked up in 2023 nor does it have to be sold in 2023. As long as you have been in contact with a CARS representative in 2023 your car may be used as a tax donation for 2021. Find out more by clicking this link: Car Donation.
Q. Can you send me a tax receipt?
A. Tax receipts will be sent in January 2024. If we have your email on file, we will email a copy. If we do not have your email address on file, then we will mail it via USPS. Members can also access their tax receipt through our online member portal.
Q. What does Fair Market Value mean?
A. The fair market value is the price of a thank you gift had it been sold instead of given. To calculate the deductible amount of your gift, subtract the fair market value of a gift from the amount you donated. When we mail your tax receipt, we will include the fair market value of any thank you gift(s) over the IRS Token Value that you requested and subtract it from your donation leaving you with your total tax-deductible contribution for 2023.
Q. I'm a current Program Sponsor. What was my total for 2023?
A. Please contact Pam Power at ppower@kut.org or your sponsorship representative.
