Why is it saying my total miles must be greater that my professional miles when my truck is 100% business and all miles are business related. There are no commuter miles.

It keeps giving me an error when I put in the same number for business miles and total miles.

Can you clarify if you are entering actual expenses or using the standard mileage deduction?  TurboTax will allow 100% business use- you may want to re-check your entries.

Inadvertently, something was answered incorrect in the interview. Here's the steps to correct the error.

 

  1. Open TurboTax.
  2. In the left black panel select Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a form.
  3. Delete Schedule C > Car and Truck Expense Worksheet > Continue.
  4. Federal > Wages & Income > Self-employment income and expenses > Edit/Add.
  5. Select the line of work > Edit.
  6. Expenses > Vehicle > Start.
  7. Enter the information about the vehicle > Continue.

 

     8.  On the screen below, make the same entries > Continue.

 

    9.  On the screen below enter the total miles driven > Miles driven between 01/01/2022 and 06/30/2022 > Miles driven between 07/01/2022 and 12/21/2022.

 

 

    10.  Complete this section.
