You can deduct expenses related to volunteer work if the expenses were directly connected with the services provided, if the money was not returned to you, the expenses were incurred only because you volunteered, and they were not personal, living or family expenses. Some examples are travel expenses and the cost of uniforms only suitable for wear when performing the service. You cannot deduct the value of time or services provided.
