You can enter your actual expenses related to charitable travel by skipping the mileage field. If anything is entered in that box, then the standard charitable mileage rate will be used to calculate the mileage portion of the deduction.
Instead, enter the date of your travel and the total cost of your other travel expenses plus the description. This will allow your deduction to be based on the expenses you entered instead of mileage.
Be sure you have kept records to substantiate your expenses. Your records may include the miles you drove even if the deduction was not calculated using the standard charitable mileage rate.
