If my s corp reimburses myself for personal vehicle use does the corporation then have any vehicle expenses?

I  have an s corp and plan to deduct mileage on my personal return that the s corp reimbursed me for using my personal vehicle. Besides the s corp deducting the reimbursement, Can the s corp report any vehicle expenses?

It depends.

First, if you were reimbursed mileage from the SCorp for use of your personal vehicle, then you cannot deduct mileage expenses on your personal return.  You cannot deduct expenses on your personal return for which you were reimbursed.  BUT, the Scorp can deduct the expenses that were reimbursed to you.

So, second, if the Scorp reimbursed you for use of the vehicle, then those amounts reimbursed to you can be recorded as business expenses on the SCorp return.  They wouldn't be vehicle expenses as the Scorp does not own the vehicle, they would simply be Mileage Reimbursement expenses (can be entered in the "all other expenses" section) of TurboTax Business.
