This bill would change the tax rule for volunteer driving so that people who use their own vehicles to transport others or property for a charity could be reimbursed at a higher mileage rate. Right now, the charitable mileage rate is fixed at 14 cents per mile. Under this bill, most charitable driving would still use 14 cents per mile, but driving done on behalf of a qualified organization to carry people or property would use a rate set by the Treasury Department that cannot be lower than the business mileage rate used for tax deductions. The change is meant to better recognize and support volunteer drivers.
- It updates the tax code’s charitable mileage rule for driving done for certain nonprofit organizations.
- The higher rate would apply when a person drives people other than themselves, or property, on behalf of a qualified charity.
- The new rate could not be less than the standard mileage rate used for business and some other tax deductions.
- The change would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
