Deductions & credits

Depending on how your employer reports the mileage will determine if it is taxable on your tax return.  If it is included as part of your wages, under line 1 of the W-2, you will report the income as it appears on your W-2, which is considered taxable income.  

 

If the income is considered taxable, you may be able to claim business mileage on your Schedule A under job expenses and certain miscellaneous deductions.  To enter this into TurboTax, you will follow these steps:

 

  1. Click Deductions and Credits
  2. Scroll Down to employment expenses, click show more
  3. Click Start next to Job expenses for W-2 Income
  4. Click Yes
  5. Enter the occupation
  6. Answer questions as they pertain to your work
  7. Under Any vehicle expenses or sales, click yes
  8. Enter vehicle information
