When I am trying to add expenses like my husband using his personal vehicle for business, it shows us as self employed. Is this correct?

It depends on the form he receives from his employer. 

If he gets a 1099-MISC, then he is considered self-employed and will file a Schedule C.  On that, he reports the 1099-MISC, plus any other income he's received and takes expenses, like mileage. 

If he gets a W-2, then he can take his business mileage only as a miscellaneous deduction subject to 2% on your Schedule A.
