Car expenses. You can deduct unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses,
such as the cost of gas and oil, that are directly related to the use
of your car in giving services to a charitable organization. You
cannot deduct general repair and maintenance expenses, depreciation,
registration fees, or the costs of tires or insurance.

If you do not want to deduct your actual expenses, you can use a
standard mileage rate of 14 cents a mile to figure your contribution.

You can deduct parking fees and tolls, whether you use your actual
expenses or the standard mileage rate.

You must keep reliable written records of your car expenses. For
more information, see Car expenses under Records To Keep, later.

Can the mileage ( one way or round trip) for delivery of a noncash
contribution be claimed?
