Which of the following types of out-of-pocket volunteer expenses is not deductible?

a. Correct. The cost of attending a convention as a member of the organization is not deductible; only the cost of attending as a delegate or representative enables a taxpayer to write-off travel costs.

b. Incorrect. The cost of uniforms to perform services as a volunteer are deductible as long as they are not suitable for normal everyday use.

c. Incorrect. Driving to and from a school to volunteer in the classroom is deductible based on actual gas and oil costs or at the rate of 14¢ per mile.

d. Incorrect. As long as there is no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in the travel, then the cost of airfare and other travel expenses are deductible; full-time volunteer work on an archeological dig would seem to meet this requirement.
