It was suggested to me by an accountant that I purchase a car for a few hundred dollars, and then sometime during the year, donate it to a specific charity (a local church) that offers a minimum $1,000 tax write-off for car donations.
Not really sure what you're asking here but sounds a little fishy to me...
First you want to puchase a vehicle for maybe $300 bucks or so....
Second you want to donate and lie to a church about it's value in order to get a $1,000 write off to help you during tax time?
Welcome to the forums, just not the way I would have opened my first thread anywhere....
