I want my mileage deduction. I carefully entered 7,099 business miles for a $4,082 deduction. Yet on Schedule C Line 44, TTSE reported nothing. Must I now amend?

It sounds like you may have taken the actual vehicle expenses instead of the mileage. This is normal when the actual vehicle expense exceed the standard mileage deduction. Please read, Maximizing Tax Deductions for the Business Use of Your Car, for a detailed explanation.
