Deductions & credits

If you have a business as a sole proprietor or an independent contractor, business mileage is not entered as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.  It is reported on the Schedule C under Car and Truck expenses.

 

However, if you are a W-2 employee you cannot deduct any employee business expenses on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.
