if you are self-employed (and receive a 1099- NEC), then you can deduct SOME of the mileage.
The rules on what mileage is allowable as a business deduction are covered in chapter 4 here, which also has an informative cartoon. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p463.pdf
If you are a W-2 employee, you can't deduct mileage on your federal tax return. You can still list it in Turbotax and it might give you a deduction in some states that still follow the old rules. You may also want to discuss the arrangement with your employer. The employer can reimburse you tax-free if the miles are work-related, and can deduct it as a business expense on their tax return. Finally, you might want to investigate your state labor laws. It may be illegal in your state for your employer to require you to cover your own mileage as a condition of working.
