No, you should only enter your home day care expenses in the Self-employed business section of the software. Only when you are paid with a W-2 as an employee, should you enter unreimbursed employee job expenses.
You enter all of your expenses for self-employed work, with that income (you can have more than 1 self-employed business). To enter your driving expenses:
- Head into your return and select Federal from the side bar
- Then select Income & Expenses from the categories along the top of the software
- Scroll down and select Edit next to Self-Employment
- Select Edit next to your daycare self-employed business (or you'll begin adding it if you haven't already)
- Click Continue through the informational summary screens
- You'll come to the Income and Expenses summary screen, here you'll see a listing of all the types of expenses you can enter including miscellaneous. Anything spent for the business qualifies.
- On the summary screen, scroll down under Expenses and click Start next to Vehicle to enter your driving costs
