Re: Does Donate For A Cause Really Care About Helping Charities Or Just Making Profits? (by Jim C.):
Hello marieb169, If you're asking about Donations For A Cause, I can vouch for them as far as taking the unit off your hands. We just finished the process which takes about 6 mos. and cost us ~$2300. I would question their ethics on the tax deduction issue which they promote heavily to sell their program. I paid $300 to get a very rich appraisal that I'm now afraid to use. If I had to pay $2300 to get rid of it how can it be worth $6000 or anything for that matter? I now think the appraiser is in cahoots with DFAC which says they only received $285 upon resale of my unit. That would be in addition to my $2300. Not a bad racket. You are the only one responsible for the amount claimed on your 1040 and I hear the penalty can be serious if your deduction is found to be excessive.
