Why am I ineligible to receive the standard mileage deduction for my work with Door Dash? Is it because my father owns the car?

Deductions & credits
It depends.
If you entered the information for the auto under your Self-Employment income, it should give you the option to use the standard mileage rate or actual expenses.
You would enter this information under the federal section.
- Go to the Income & Expenses section
- Select Self-employment income and expenses
- Select Review next to the business
- Select Vehicle - Review/Add
- Proceed through the screens to enter the applicable information
If you are trying to take the deduction as an unreimbursed employee expense, it is no longer allowed as a deduction for federal purposes.
If your father also uses the same vehicle for business and claims the actual expenses as a deduction, then you would not be able to use the vehicle as a deduction. You can only claim one method or the other.

Where do we enter the mileage deductions, etc. on the TurboTax Deluxe software? We received a 1099-NEC, and I couldn't find the Income and Expenses section and Self-Employment Income and Expenses in the software, but the software stated the Deluxe version would work for the 1099-NEC. Thanks for the information!

Deductions & credits
TurboTax Deluxe version only allows you to enter self-employment income. If you want to be able to deduct expenses, you must use TurboTax Self-employed (on-line) or TurboTax Home and Business (CD/Download).
