Chartable Contribution

[rwm221]

I have a client who volunteers to work with a traveling youth baseball team. His last tax preparer wrote off all traveling expenses. when I did some research on the subject it says out-of-pocket expenses for a charitable organization. Would a traveling youth baseball team be considered a charitable organization?

If it has a 501c3 classification. Supposedly most dont - https://www.sadlersports.com/blog/yo...exempt-status/

It also would be advisable if your client would obtain some written acknowledgement from the 501(c)(3) entity acknowledging his volunteer service and the extent of his
involvement. He can't simply be a spectator to the events - he has to participate in the organization's activities or be involved in making the events take place.
