I'm a volunteer firefighter. I receive a 1099-MISC for my small compensation. What deductions would apply to me that may be overlooked?

I am compensated once-per-year.  The City reports this as non-employee compensation and I subsequently pay self-employment tax.  Is there a deduction that I might be missing?

I contribute to our 501(c)3 and deduct that as charitable expense.  I also deduct mileage.

I pay for items to sell at our fire department bake sale.

Our state offers a $100 property tax credit for vehicle registration for being a volunteer firefighter.

Is there something I might have missed?  What about the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007?
