Incorrect Calculation on Car and Truck Expenses Worksheet

[LavenderSasha]

I am entering actual vehicle expenses and having an issue with the Car and Truck Expenses Worksheet.  On Line 9, the percent of business use is not calculating correctly.  The percentage is half of what it should be.

For example...

Line 6a Business miles 1/1/22 thru 6/30/22: blank

Line 6b Business miles 7/1/22 thru 12/31/2022: 2000

Line 5c Total miles: 4501

Line 9 Percent of business use: 22.22%

Percentage should be 44.43% for the entire year.

I'm working on TT Deluxe Desktop.  Please advise.  Thank you!

I can't recreate your issue in a test return.  It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2022" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions: 

Go to the black panel on the top of your screen and select Online. 

1. Scroll down to and select Send tax file to Agent. 
2. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click send through this screen and then you will get a Token number. 
3. Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.  

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

Go back through the vehicle questions, and when it asks you if you kept track of personal miles, say YES.

Thank you.  That worked!

Worked for me as well in 2022 taxes.  I've never had the TurboTax software give me half before when I checked that I didn't keep mileage records!  I just happened to notice it.  Now, I'll be sure to check it every time I add an asset.

It only does it the first year and last year that you use your vehicle for business.  If the vehicle was used the full year, it doesn't do that.
