Another Charity Mileage Question.

Dec 06, 2006 1 Replies

This involves driving to extra-curricular events for (public) school. I'm trying to figure out how different sets of facts affect what is or is not deductible for mileage. Set #1: We drive our child to an extra-curricular event.



My Guess: This would not qualify as charity mileage, since it is for the benefit of our child. Set #2: We drive our child and other team/club members to an event. My Question: Does addition of other children make the mileage deductible as supporting the club in general? Would the deduction need to be pro-rated?

I see no difference between set #1 and set #2, the principal purpose is to drive your kid to the event. What makes you think that just because this is an extra-curricular activity sponsored by the school, it is a "charitable" activity?
