• Do others treat these instances as regular GIK or as unreimbursed expenses for services?
• Do you treat unreimbursed expenses like cash and include the amount on the receipts?

Internal Revenue Service regulations allow you to deduct most out-of-pocket volunteer expenses. Such deductions include reasonable expenses for telephone, meals, and travel related to attending meetings or performing roles on the governing body, such as fundraising.

This letter certifies that you were required to be in attendance in City, State on the specified dates for the stated purposes.

According to IRS code, you may deduct the actual costs of airfare, car mileage (refer to the current instructions for Schedule A of IRS Form 1040 for rates), tolls, parking fees, phone calls, meals, and lodging expenses. However, expenses are only deductible if there is no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation involved in your travel. No expenses for a spouse, child, or friend traveling with you are deductible. Assuming your expenses meet these conditions and that you have not received any goods or services in exchange for these contributions-as this letter affirms-they are deductible as charitable contributions.

The IRS code requires written verification from the organization for these charitable deductions. This letter fulfills that requirement. You should keep records of your expenses to claim the deduction. If you request reimbursement from the organization for any expenses, they are not deductible. We recommend consulting your tax accountant for further clarification.

We hope this information helps you plan your taxes, and we appreciate your active involvement.
