Mileage as volunteer driver

[Alli906]

Do I count my mileage from the time I leave the house, or after I begin my deliveries?

[JaimeG · Accepted solution]

The mileage is for the miles driven while performing the charitable activities. The commute from your home to the base of operations is not deductible. Nevertheless Travel out-of-town for certain special events do count towards your mileage. You are allowed to charge $0.14 per mile for Charity.

IRS Publications 526 and 531

Is air travel to the volunteer event deductible?
