The Volunteer Driver Tax Appreciation Act would increase the tax deduction that volunteers can claim for driving on behalf of charitable organizations. Currently, volunteers can deduct 14 cents per mile when they drive for charity work, but this bill would require that rate to match the standard business mileage rate (which is typically higher and adjusts annually). The change would primarily benefit people who volunteer their time and vehicles for charitable causes, such as driving for food banks, homeless services, or other nonprofit organizations. The tax deduction increase would take effect for the 2025 tax year and beyond. The bill was introduced by Senator Klobuchar and co-sponsored by Senator Budd and was referred to the Senate Finance Committee for consideration.
