Worried about where to keep a truck you no longer need? We offer free pickup for donated trucks anywhere in Salt Lake City, making it convenient for you to let go of that extra vehicle without a hassle.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Utah, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward. You'll need to complete a DMV form (Form TC-656) for the transfer. Notarization is typically required, especially if there are multiple owners. Remember to turn in your license plates as well, as they must be returned to the DMV. Don't worry; we’ll guide you through each step to make it easy.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your truck can yield significant tax benefits, with deductions typically falling between $500 and the sale price if sold for more. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which will help you claim your deduction. Just keep in mind that the IRS has specific rules, so we recommend consulting a tax professional to maximize your benefits!
Local context — Salt Lake City
Trucks in Salt Lake City come from a variety of backgrounds, often reflecting the community’s hardworking spirit. Donors often find themselves downsizing after a life change, like relocating for a new job or managing the aftermath of a divorce. Many trucks have served faithfully through years of hauling mountain bikes or snowboards up to Park City’s trails, and it’s that local culture of adventure and practicality that inspires many to donate. The reasons are as diverse as the trucks on our streets!
