Can I deduct a uniform on my taxes if it's for Boy Scouts?

Yes you can, it's an out-of-pocket expense for a charitable organization. You add it to your other non-cash donations and if you can itemize, you'll get a small amount back in taxes.

Uniforms. You can deduct the cost and upkeep of uniforms that are not suitable for everyday use and that you must wear while performing donated services for a charitable organization.

Hello Mike:

You can also deduct the cost of driving to meetings, Round Table, training and camp outs. Your uniforms are deductible expenses, but your son's uniforms are not. Also your donations to Friends of Scouting campaign, the donation you give to the popcorn sale (minus the 40% value of the corn), and any camping equipment you donate to the troop, provided the troop is sponsored by a not-for-profit entity that has a taxpayer ID.
