Thank you for your reply.
In tax year 2018, I dropped the ball on expenses. I only tracked business mileage and not additional personal mileage required by the IRS, so I've just decided to pay the full tax bill, with no offsetting expenses. I could have used gasoline expenses, but I wanted to be able to use mileage in future tax years. I'm receiving the earned income credit, so that effectively cuts my tax bill in half anyway, so I'm not too concerned as I've saved up the money to pay the full tax bill.
So given I won't be inputting any expenses, I want to make sure I understand your advice: I take the $6,118 minus the $714 on the 1099-MISC, and then enter that $714 in the MISC box, so that the grand total to be taxed is $6,118?
I greatly appreciate your help.
