Wayne, Don't you have to subtract what your normal mileage is from work to home? I thought only "additional mileage" accumulated while volunteering was eligible.
If I was to stop at home and then go to robot build, than I could only count the trip to and from the shop, but since I go directly to the shop, from work, it all counts. I use a certified tax preparer.

Re: Filing taxes & volunteering - what to keep track of?
I've been writing off my travel expenses (hotel, gasand food mainly) for the past few years. I use my bank statements to obtain the information of what I spent on actual travel to the event. I have yet to write off my off season event travel because I am not sure if it counts.

It depends on the organization putting on the off-season. See the link I posted for some criteria. FIRST would not be the organization.
