I have two assets (cars) i’d like to donate separate times (month or few apart) to a family member that total less than approx 16k value or so. Is this doable?

Sounds like you trying to skirt tax laws for them to pay said taxes on vehicles a-hole. That's the reason La is number one in corruption!!!!!

Are you giving the car away for free, or are you doing an "act of donation" to save on tax?

There’s no law stipulating how much or how often you can donate.

Be sure to note that in the part of the form that asks for relationship of the parties.

I think LA exempts sales tax on donations to an individual only when it's within immediate family.

This notary site says the same:

quote:

A lot of us want to donate a vehicle because we want to avoid paying taxes on it. With a normal cash sale of a used vehicle, the buyer will pay taxes on the amount paid. Some people try to avoid making that tax payment by calling the transfer a donation. The problem is that unless the donor and donee are immediate family members (such as father/son), the state will consider it a disguised sale. You must be immediate family in Louisiana to donate vehicles between individuals!
