Bill > SF3189

This bill modifies Minnesota's tax code to increase the income tax subtraction for volunteer drivers by changing how mileage reimbursements are calculated. Specifically, the bill allows taxpayers to subtract a reimbursement amount calculated as two dollars per mile driven while volunteering, minus any reimbursement already received from a charitable organization. A charitable organization is defined as one eligible for tax-deductible contributions under federal tax law. The bill instructs the tax commissioner to adjust the two-dollar-per-mile rate annually, and the changes will take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. The goal appears to be providing greater financial support and recognition for individuals who volunteer their time and use their personal vehicles to provide transportation services for charitable organizations, potentially encouraging more people to volunteer by offering a more generous tax benefit.
