WITAXLADY Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Volunteer worked 6 months and the organization got a grant and split it up amongst the volunteers. Taxpayer forgot to claim it in 2021- no 1099, just her check stub. Amend? - Claim as other income? Only expenses would be miles..

Most likely, although it could go several different directions depending on facts and circumstance as well as dollar amount. I would be curious as to how the org. reported the distribution to the volunteers; sounds like more than a matter of reimbursement of expenses. 1 hour ago, WITAXLADY said: Only expenses would be miles.. I think that would only apply if put on schedule C. Without any further information I would go with other income on 1040X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Many Government and Public Assistance grants are not taxable. See Quickfinders; Page 4-5. Also included are some Volunteer grants. If there was no 1099; I would certainly try to find out if it is indeed taxable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While grant was not taxable to the org, I can’t see where the distribution of the grant to volunteers would be non-taxable if it was above and beyond a reimbursement. The IRS rules are strict in such matters. I would be curious in how the org. classified the distribution to the volunteers on form 990. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a "volunteer grant" is a donation from a company a volunteer is employed with - to a charity the employee volunteers for. The org. uses it for it's charitable purposes; it is not disbursed to the volunteer as in the case of OP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
