Tennessee Vehicles Can Do More Than Trade In

Donating a car is often simpler than selling one. Across Tennessee, owners are finding that a direct gift to a vetted 501(c)(3) includes free towing arranged by the charity, costs nothing out of pocket, and produces an IRS Form 1098-C documenting the deduction at tax time.
