You are entitled to deduct your out-of-pocket expenses incurred
as a result of your activities as a coach. Of the expenses you
listed, everything should be deductible except the meals for
games that do not involve an overnight stay -- the distance is
not a factor. If your kids stay in your room, only your share
would be deductible -- that is, the extra cost because you are
in the room, not the other way around.

Default Coaching expenses


I coach youth ice hockey for a 501c3 organization and would
like to deduct my expenses. I've read past threads on this
and understand that mileage, tolls, and parking are
deductible. What is not clear are other expenses such as:

Hotel rooms for out of town games.

Meals for above.

Meals for games that are over 50, 100, 150 miles away (not
sure if distance matters).

Equipment and supplies that I buy and only use for coaching
(I do not play in any men's leagues).

And by the way, my kids do play on my team so if rooms and
meals are deductible, would I only deduct my percentage for
the use of the room?

Donations made for team and club fundraising.

Thanks in advance

Dan
