Volunteer Driver Tax Appreciation Act of 2025

# Volunteer Driver Tax Appreciation Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Volunteer Driver Tax Appreciation Act of 2025 would provide tax benefits to volunteers who use their personal vehicles while performing volunteer work. Specifically, the bill aims to increase or expand tax deductions for mileage driven by volunteers, making it more financially rewarding for people who donate their time and vehicles to charitable or community organizations. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily benefit volunteers who drive their own vehicles for charitable work—such as transporting seniors to medical appointments, delivering meals to homebound individuals, or supporting nonprofit organizations. It could also indirectly benefit the nonprofits and community groups that rely on volunteer drivers, as better tax incentives might encourage more people to volunteer. **Current Status** As of now, HR 1582 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.

The bill was sponsored by Representative Pete Stauber (R-Minnesota). The specific provisions of the bill are not yet detailed in available summaries, so the exact scope and amount of tax benefits remain unclear.
