Deductions & credits

Let me point you to a different direction so that Turbo Tax will not require you to fill out a Schedule C but you will need to report this as wages and you will need to pay your uncollected social security and Medicare taxes as part of this reimbursement.

  1. Log into Turbo Tax
  2. Wages and Income
  3. Other Common Income
  4. Form 1099-NEC>start

  5. First question say yes. if it asks to upgrade, pick deluxe for now if you are not there already. if you are in a premier version, this is fine.

  6. now enter your 1099 NEC information

  7. Next screen will ask the reason, put in mileage reimbursement

  8. Next screen says does one of these uncommon situations apply? Here select My employer reported this extra money on a 1099-NEC but it should have been reported on a W-2.
  9. Next screen regarding 8919,select I received a Form W-2 and this Form 1099-NEC, but all the income reported on this Form 1099-NEC should have been included on my Form W-2 from XXX.

  10. The next couple of screens will tell you that this will be reported as wages but your return will contain a form 8919 that will report your uncollected taxes and Medicare taxes in your return.  This will keep you from having to report this as a separate business in a Schedule C.
