TIPS FOR DEDUCTING SCOUTING EXPENSES ON YOUR TAX RETURN



When Baden-Powell said, "Be Prepared," I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about income tax returns. But still, there's no better advice than that two-word phrase during tax time. Scouters who heeded the Scout Motto last year remembered to track and document their Boy Scouts of America-related expenses. And now, they know that they can include those expenses if they plan to itemize their deductions. But what if you didn't know that BSA expenses were deductible? Or what if your "filing system" is really your glove compartment that's stuffed with gas receipts and crumpled-up napkins? And what qualifies as an eligible expense, anyway? Your fellow Scouters and I are here to help. Along with other Scout leaders on Facebook, I've collected some tips to help you track and deduct your BSA-related expenses. With the April 17, 2018, deadline approaching fast, there's no better time than now to get started.
