Jury Duty

June --

I've just received a summons for Jury duty. Can I deduct any lost income due to my Jury service?

Thanks,
Steve


Hi Steve,

No, you can not take any deduction. In a way you are donating your time and services to the public. Here's three posts that help explain why you can't:
No deduction for billed but unpaid fees.
Deducting an Attorney's Time
No deduction for donated work or services

Best,
June
