Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Any professional work that is done pro bono has limitations to what you can claim. From the IRS, they state that “Although you cannot deduct the value of your services given to a qualified organization, you may be able to deduct some amounts you pay in giving services to a qualified organization.

 

Generally the amounts that are deductible are the out of pocket expenses related to your work. You time is not deductible. 

 

We cannot estimate the chances of any return being audited, returns that have a loss on a Schedule C are more likely to be audited.
