Sorry----you misunderstood the rules. Volunteers cannot deduct anything for their time. The time you spent as a volunteer cannot be entered on a Schedule A. If you drove anywhere to do the volunteer work you can deduct your mileage. if you purchased any sort of materials or supplies to perform the volunteer work you can deduct your expenses. You do not get anything for your time. Volunteer work does not get turned into "paid" work by entering it on a tax return.
