I just filed my taxes last night, & I know that you can "write-off" certain expenses while vounteering - although I haven't ever done this.
What kinds of things can you "write-off" while volunteering within the
FIRST community?
What kind of records are needed?
Are there certain IRS forms you can use as a guide?
What counts as volunteering?
- Volunteering time on your team - the expenses associated with that (gas mileage, etc...)?
- Competition volunteering efforts - travel (airfare/gas mileage) expenses, hotel expenses??
- Off-seasons - hotel/travel expenses out of your own pocket?
Just wondering if anyone has done this kind of tax paperwork or filing status before & had any tips?
Post here what counts if you have experience with this, or just send me a PM.
Thanks!
