Volunteer Driver Tax Appreciation Act of 2025

This bill increases the mileage deduction rate for volunteer drivers who transport people or property for qualified charitable organizations. It raises the standard rate from 14 cents per mile to a rate set by the IRS that must be at least the current business mileage rate (currently higher than 14 cents). This directly affects volunteers working with tax-exempt organizations like food banks or community service groups. The change applies to tax returns filed for years beginning after December 31, 2024.
