$50-$500/yr
Can You Write Off 4-H and Scouting Expenses?
Short answer: No for dues and gear, but unreimbursed costs of volunteering as a leader for a qualified charity can be deductible if you itemize.
Use the 14 cents per mile charity rate for volunteer driving.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
