Since you are adding to a previous thread, your question may not be exactly the same as the original poster.
If you are Self-Employed and were "reimbursed" at the mileage rate for travel, but did not receive a tax document reporting that payment, you could handle it several different ways.
The main bit of advice I have to offer is this- do it the same way year over year, the IRS likes consistency and your year-to-year comparison will be clearer.
If what you do works, do that. In TurboTax, if the vehicle is also available for personal use, you need to enter business/personal miles driven the year so that TurboTax knows the business percentage of use. This affects how much depreciation is claimed.
Although you don't get a 1099 for the mileage reimbursement, nothing stops you from reporting it as cash income on your Schedule C.
If you report the reimbursement as cash, you can deduct the expenses however way is more advantageous to you, Standard Miles or Actual Expenses.
Technically, reimbursements are used for employers to employees and should have a written agreement in place.
Report it any way that is easiest and also accurate.
