The Internal Revenue Service does not recognize volunteers for their life saving things that we do, if we receive 600.00 pr more for reimbursement of our resources ( gas, food, uniforms etc) we have to fill out a 1099 form and a schedule c (self employment) form and pay a tax. We don't get paid for our services so why should we be taxed when this is for a reimbursement? It's not income. We do not benefit from this! Normally it cost us money to serve! We should get a tax break, not be hit with a self employment tax!
