Can You Write Off Blood or Plasma Donation?
Short answer: No, donating blood isn't deductible; plasma payments you receive may be taxable income.
Mileage to a blood drive can count at the 14 cents per mile charity rate if you itemize.
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.
