KSDS Jazz 88
Your Connection To The Arts In San Diego
Now there's another way for you to support public radio programming on Jazz 88. Our Jazz Car Vehicle Donation Program has begun.
You can donate your used vehicle to KSDS by calling toll free 888 JAZZ CAR, that's 888-529-9227. A representative will explain all of the details including same day service. The most important point is that you're supporting the music and art form you love. The vehicle donation program number is 888 JAZZ CAR (888-529-9227).
Jazz 88 benefits by receiving a cash donation to fund new and existing programs and increase community awareness through local events.
You benefit by being able to reduce your taxable income when taxes are itemized. Plus you avoid the costs associated with selling your car. No need to pay for advertising, no loss of privacy and possible security risk, and no need to pay for vehicle registration, insurance, and repairs to keep your car in running condition while you wait for a buyer.
In some cases we can take your car, running or not. However, it must have an engine and be tow-able. Contact a representative at 1-888-JAZZ CAR (1-888- 529-9227) to find out if your vehicle qualifies for pick-up.
Many types of motor vehicles are accepted including boats, motorcycles, trucks, and cars. If you are uncertain as to whether or not your vehicle is eligible, please contact the vehicle donation program toll free at 1-888-JAZZ CAR (1-888- 529-9227).
We make donating your car as simple and convenient as possible. In many cases, vehicles can be picked up the same day. Call our representatives at 1-888-JAZZ CAR (1-888- 529-9227).
No. Special arrangements can be made by calling our representative.
The only paperwork needed is a signed, clear title (pink slip). Have your title with you when you call-in your donation. [Please note: a clear title indicates the title is in the name of the donor without a lien].
For states that require smog certificates or safety inspections, you may donate your vehicle without these documents.
In the rare event that you receive any notification of a lien sale, DMV actions or other activity related to your donated vehicle, please contact us at 1-888-JAZZ CAR (1-888- 529-9227) immediately for assistance.
Donors are no longer responsible for determining the deductible value of their donation. Instead, they will receive IRS Form 1098-C, Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes if the proceeds from the sale exceed $500, stating the amount of the gross proceeds from the sale of the donated vehicle. The amount listed on IRS Form 1098-C, Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes will be the gross proceeds of the deductible donation.
Yes, our driver will issue a receipt at the time of pick-up. This is not your final tax receipt unless the sale of your vehicle does not exceed $500. This initial acknowledgement will indicate your name as well as the year, make, model and condition of the car you are donating. It will be your only receipt if your vehicle sells for less than $500.
An IRS Form 1098-C, Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes will be mailed to you within 30 days of the sale stating the amount of gross proceeds received from your car, provided your vehicle sold for more than $500. This will be your tax receipt for your charitable contribution.
The value is determined by the gross proceeds raised from the sale of the donated vehicle. You no longer have the burden of determining the value yourself.
Jazz 88 has additional paperwork in reporting the gross proceeds raised from the sale of the vehicle to the donor and IRS. The process of obtaining the cash donation from the vehicle remains the same.
According to the tax law effective January 1, 2005, if the claimed value of the donated vehicle exceeds $500, the taxpayer is limited to the gross proceeds of the sale.
Effective January 1, 2005, you are no longer required to have vehicles appraised. The value you may claim will be the amount of gross proceeds received from your vehicle.
