Tips on Travel While Giving to Charity
Here are tax tips you should know if you travel while giving your services to charity.
1. You can’t deduct the value of your services that you give to charity.
But you may be able to deduct some out-of-pocket costs you pay to give your services. This can include the cost of travel.
All out-of pocket costs must be:
• unreimbursed,
• directly connected with the services,
• expenses you had only because of the services you gave, and
• not personal, living or family expenses.
2. Your volunteer work must be for a qualified charity.
Most groups other than churches and governments must apply to the IRS to become qualified. Ask the group about its IRS status before you donate. You can also use the Select Check tool on IRS.gov to check the group’s status.
3. Some types of travel do not qualify for a tax deduction.
For example, you can’t deduct your costs if a significant part of the trip involves recreation or a vacation. For more on these rules see Publication 526, Charitable Contributions.
4. You can deduct your travel expenses if your work is real and substantial throughout the trip. You can’t deduct expenses if you only have nominal duties or do not have any duties for significant parts of the trip.
5. Deductible travel expenses may include:
• air, rail and bus transportation,
• car expenses,
• lodging costs,
• the cost of meals, and
• taxi or other transportation costs between the airport or station and your hotel.

New Program – The IRS Fresh Start program
The IRS Fresh Start program makes it easier for taxpayers to pay back taxes and avoid tax liens. Even small business taxpayers may benefit from Fresh Start.
Three important features of the IRS Fresh Start program:
IRS Tax Liens.
The Fresh Start program increased the amount that taxpayers can owe before the IRS generally will file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. That amount is now $10,000.
However, in some cases, the IRS may still file a lien notice on amounts less than $10,000.
When a taxpayer meets certain requirements and pays off their tax debt, the IRS may now withdraw a filed Notice of Federal Tax Lien.
Taxpayers must request this in writing using Form 12277, Application for Withdrawal.
Some taxpayers may qualify to have their lien notice withdrawn if they are paying their tax debt through a Direct Debit installment agreement.
Taxpayers also need to request this in writing by using Form 12277.
If a taxpayer defaults on the Direct Debit Installment Agreement, the IRS may file a new Notice of Federal Tax Lien and resume collection actions.
IRS Installment Agreements.
The Fresh Start program expanded access to streamlined installment agreements. Now, individual taxpayers who owe up to $50,000 can pay through monthly direct debit payments for up to 72 months (six years).
While the IRS generally will not need a financial statement, they may need some financial information from the taxpayer.
Taxpayers in need of installment agreements for tax debts more than $50,000 or longer than six years still need to provide the IRS with a financial statement.
In these cases, the IRS may ask for one of two forms: either Collection Information Statement, Form 433-A or Form 433-F.
Offers in Compromise.
An Offer in Compromise is an agreement that allows taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount. Fresh Start expanded and streamlined the OIC program. The IRS now has more flexibility when analyzing a taxpayer’s ability to pay.
This makes the offer program available to a larger group of taxpayers.
IRS will accept an offer if it represents the most the agency can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.
The IRS will not accept an offer if it believes that the taxpayer can pay the amount owed in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. The IRS looks at several factors, including the taxpayer’s income and assets, to make a decision regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.
