UNWLA TAX alert! compiled by Oksana Xenos I volunteered 6 hours o f my time to do electrical repair work at the offices o f a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. As a professional electrician, I normally charge $50 an hour fo r this kind o f work. Can I claim a charitable deduction o f $300fo r my volunteer work? No, you cannot claim a deduction for the value of your time or services. ♦ The offices o f the non-profit organization where I did the electrical work are 30 miles away from my home. I spent $200 o f my own money fo r the supplies and equipment to repair the problem. None o f these costs were reimbursed to me by the organization. Can I deduct the expenses o f my travel and the cost o f the supplies and equipment? ♦ Yes, you can deduct the costs of gas and oil that are directly related to getting to and from the place where you volunteered your services. You can also deduct your “out-of-pocket” costs for the supplies and equipment (but only if you were not reimbursed for these costs by the organization). For additional information, see IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions. Oksana Xenos is an attorney and tax law specialist with the U. S. Department of Treasury in Washington, DC. She is also a retired Lieutenant Colonel (JAG Corps-USAR) and Foreign Area Officer qualified in dual specialties (Ukrainian and Greek). Ms. Xenos received her law degree and her MA and BA from Wayne State University. A member-at-large, she serves as parliamentarian of the UNWLA. * * * The information provided here is of a general nature and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any individual.
