Sounds to me like it should be included in your gross income on 1099Misc or 1099NEC which goes on Schedule C for self employment independent contractor income. Then you can deduct your actual mileage as an expense to offset it.
Oh, is this for contractors, or employees, or both?
For employees, see my other answer. It is not W-2 income as long as the employer has an accountable plan.
The answer above is correct as it applies to independent contractors. Everything of value that you receive for your services must be included in your gross income on box 1 of form 1099-NEC. Then, you can deduct your mileage as a schedule C business expense using either the standard mileage method or the actual expense method. Which you have probably been doing all along anyway.
