Can I really claim mileage going back and forth to church on Sunday or can I claim mileage when I go to the church such as choir practice or for meetings. Please explain

[MargaretL · Accepted solution]

Yes, you can claim round trip mileage for your volunteer choir practice, volunteer meetings or trips Sunday (if you perform your volunteer services on Sundays).

Mileage to perform charitable services is deductible at 14 cents/mile.
