Maryland will allow you to deduct your unreimbursed auto travel expenses when volunteering for a nonprofit volunteer fire company, or other qualified charitable organization whose principal purpose or function is to provide medical, health or nutritional care. You may subtract the unreimbursed vehicle travel expense incurred while providing assistance, other than providing transportation, to handicapped individuals, as defined in Section 190 of the Internal Revenue Code, who are enrolled as students in Maryland community colleges.
If your travel expenses were not reimbursed and not claimed as itemized deductions on your federal return, then you may claim the mileage at 65.5¢ cents per mile from 01/01/24 through 12/31/24. Total mileage should include the mileage traveled from home, performing the service and returning home. You should maintain the appropriate documentation.
