The IRS allows 14 cents per mile driven for charitable service — significantly lower than the business rate, but it adds up for active volunteers. You can also deduct actual out-of-pocket vehicle costs for charity work.

Charitable deductions require itemizing on Schedule A. Cash donations need a receipt or bank record for all amounts. Non-cash donations over $500 require Form 8283. Donations must be to IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) organizations. You cannot deduct the value of your time volunteered.
