Your mileage deductions are an employee business expense.
To deduct employee business expenses, you must have enough itemized deductions (ie. Medical, mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable giving, ect) to exceed your Standard Deduction. If you itemize, your deduction is limited to the extent that it exceeds 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
So, you may not gain a tax benefit for this deduction.
For example, if you itemize your deductions and your Adjusted Gross income is $50,000, 2% would equal $1,000.
You can only deduct the dollar amount that exceeds $1,000.
When you enter it, TurboTax will give the maximum benefit, if any.
