During the recent Katrina Hurricane I signed up with Angel Flight as a Volunteer because I felt like helping and well I was off for a month and had nothing to do.
What I didn't know is that the pilots have to pay for all their own fuel, rentals, food and equipment. This is a great way to help people out that don't have enough funds to get around on their own and have medical problems. I would love to help, but I myself don't make enough money to go out and rent an airplane, pay for gas and pay for my own food while out on the road.
Does anyone know if you file the above mentioned as a donation on one's behalf for tax purposes would I get 100% of what I spent on these flights and expenses in return on my taxes, or would I receive just a portion of it in return.
I've read all their literature but haven't run across anything that mentions this. Thanks in advance!
