I see no difference between set #1 and set #2, the principal
purpose is to drive your kid to the event. What makes you
think that just because this is an extra-curricular activity
sponsored by the school, it is a "charitable" activity?

This involves driving to extra-curricular events for
(public) school.

I'm trying to figure out how different sets of facts affect
what is or is not deductible for mileage.

Set #1: We drive our child to an extra-curricular event.

My Guess: This would not qualify as charity mileage, since
it is for the benefit of our child.

Set #2: We drive our child and other team/club members to
an event.

My Question: Does addition of other children make the
mileage deductible as supporting the club in general? Would
the deduction need to be pro-rated?
