Hi! I volunteered 4,500+ hours last year as a fire department paramedic. Is there any way to include this on my taxes?

Not the value of your time, but you can claim any out of pocket expenses as a Charitable deduction.  (But 4,500 hrs is more than 12 hours a day, 365 days a year).

Thanks so much, that makes sense. 

 

Yeah I know, it was a lot of fire department time this past year. COVID was crazy.
