As a rideshare driver, do I report tolls as Miscellaneous Expenses or as a Deduction on Schedule C?

To enter vehicle related expenses in the Self-Employed TurboTax Online:

·         Click on the Federal Taxes tab

·         Click on Income and Expenses

·         Click on Check for More Income and See All Income

·         Scroll down to the Self-Employment section with the blue person icon

·         Click on Show More

·         And Start or Edit. 

·         Scroll down past Expenses line and click on the blue

·         Add More Expenses for this work button

The vehicle expenses have a series of questions and you can choose to use either a cost per mile or use the actual costs for the vehicle (including gas) and the next page has tolls and parking. There are more expense categories on the Add Expenses page if you click on the blue triangle next to Less Common Expenses for legal and professional fees, commissions and much more.
