If you volunteer for a charitable organization and you itemize your deductions, here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Keep track of your mileage, date, and purpose of the trip. The IRS allows you to deduct 14 cents per mile.
- You can also deduct parking fees if applicable.
- There are also deductions for other expenses incurred while volunteering such as the cost of stamps for a fund-raising mailing, or ingredients for making cookies for a bake sale fund raiser or for your religious organization.
If you have any questions about this or any other tax questions, please give us a call at 928-778-0079.
