Yes, it is not allowing me to subtract the allowable deduction for mileage and instead use actual figures. It won't allow moving forward from the odometer page, so I am inputting my odometer mileage for total use as directed. Then clicking on the use actual expenses instead of taking the allowed deduction and continuing to the page where you can fill in the amounts you spend for business use for the year. When I continue, it is adding the mileage deduction from odometer mileage reported AND the expenses I entered on the "choose to use actual expenses" page.
I am using the basic desktop software for self employed on Windows 10 with Firefox browser.
The reason this is so important, is because my vehicle gets really good mileage and the overinflated "allowed" deduction takes almost ALL my profit away, to the point of being unbelievable that anyone would work this much for free. My vehicle uses about .15 per mile and IRS is giving me like 57.5 per mile.
I have always claimed the mileage expense, but this will be the very first year using deduction for this new car.
The only thing I can figure is that since I have always claimed mileage from the get go, and the car used for 2019 taxes was used for the first 3 months of 2020, that it is not "allowing" me to change up and use actual expenses even though it is for a different car.
