I%26#039;m trying to figure out my itemized deductions for 2007. I volunteer as a webmaster for a parks/recreation department in another county. I pay the domain/hosting fees out of my own pocket and am not reimbursed. I also am a volunteer webmaster %26amp; general volunteer for a recreation baseball team in the same county. I have traveled with the group to some out of town tournaments this year (been doing this for several years, actually), and am considered one of the team. This team is self-supporting; there are no profits, and the coaches are all volunteers. I have made two monetary contributions out of pocket, one for a media program, one for an out of state tournament. I pay all my own travel expenses to be with the group each year and am not reimbursed for anything. Can I deduct any of these costs whatsoever on itemized deductions? Just curious. Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Question re: taxes - volunteer for sports/recreation organizations?
Pretty much all of what you list are eligible deductions if the organization has 501(c)3 designation. You can%26#039;t deduct anything for your time, whether in the area of the website or the coaching. But out of pocket expenses can be deducted. The mileage deduction is much lower than business miles though, it%26#039;s 14 cents a mile.
