Can You Write Off Donated Sick Leave?
Short answer: No: giving PTO to a coworker doesn't create a deduction.
Leave donated to employer disaster-relief charity programs isn't taxed to you.
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.
