Yes, you are able to deduct vehicle expenses used on the job. That means the expenses you use at work traveling between work sites is deducible. However, the expenses you use to get to work, or drive home to work are not deductible. See below for information on where to enter the expenses as well as more info about claiming vehicle expenses.

To Enter Your Vehicle Expenses:

1. Select "Federal" at the top of the page

2. Select the "Deductions & Credits" sub-tab

3. Scroll down to "Employment Expenses" and select "Show More"

4. Select "Start/Revisit" next to "Job-Related Expenses"

5. Select "Edit" next to your occupation(Or enter it when asked)

6. Continue through the next few screens answering questions until you are asked to enter your vehicle info

7. Proceed to enter your mileage when asked

8. Choose to enter your actual expenses when asked and you will arrive to a screen to enter gas expenses, tire expenses, oil expenses etc.
