My husband is an ordained minister, However is in not paid for his minister's work. He has another part time job. Would his expenses fall under unreimburesed business expenses or charitable deductions. The difference would be his mileage rate.

With no earned income, it would be difficult to justify the costs under business expenses. Hence, make the deduction under charitable donations.
