It's that time of year again!! (No, not The Championship event) Tax Time!!

As I was reading Yahoo and looking at random things with the mind boggling thought of attempting my taxes yet again this weekend, this article caught my interest: http://taxes.yahoo.com/tips/deduct/

Especially this part..

Secret Deduction in Volunteer Work
Summertime is often a time for increased volunteer activities. Do you drive for Meals on Wheels? Take church youth on field trips? Drive to the location of a Habitat for Humanity house you're helping to construct? Keep track of all your volunteer mileage - 14 cents for every mile is deductible as a charitable contribution. To make your record keeping easier, stop by participating H&R Block offices for a free mileage record book.

Sounds cool and right up my alley for next year's taxes since I use my vehicle a lot for summer time mini comps.

Anyone ever try this? What is needed? Isn't tax time wonderful??
