If the mileage was incurred to purchase an item for your
self-employed business, then it would qualify as a business deduction on your
Schedule C.
You will need to have written documentation of the miles the
vehicle was driven for business purposes, as well as information about the
total miles driven for the year. TurboTax
will walk you through all the questions necessary for claiming the deduction.
See below for more information about claiming a mileage deduction.

If the mileage was incurred as an employee instead of a
self-employed person, then you would enter the information into Form 2106
Unreimbursed Employee Expenses. To go
directly to that section of your tax return, use these steps:
On the top row of the
TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax
locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you
can type in “2106” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click
the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will
give you an option to “Jump to 2106”
Click on the blue “Jump
to 2106” link and enter your information
