House passes disaster relief with charitable mileage rate increase

The House has passed the Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2008 (H.R. 7006). The standard mileage rate for use of a passenger automobile for charitable use after the date of enactment and before January 1, 2012, would be the rate determined by the Secretary, which rate will not be less than the standard mileage rate used for deducting travel expenses related to medical care under Code Sec. 213 (currently 27 cents-per-mile). As under present law, as an alternative to determining the amount of the deduction using the standard mileage rate, a taxpayer may determine the amount of the deduction using actual out-of-pocket expenditures, effective for taxable years ending after the date of enactment.
