When your employer includes the reimbursement as part of your wages on the Form 1099-MISC, you do not need to document it anywhere on your tax return. All you need to do is to report your entire amount of income from the 1099-MISC as part of your self-employed income and then enter those mileage expenses along with you other related business expenses on a Schedule C. This would be your off-set. Just make sure to keep all the records in case IRS asks for proof later.
In TurboTax online, simply follow these steps:
- Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Pick up where you left off
- At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "1099misc" and Enter
- Select Jump to 1099misc
- Follow prompts
- If you are not in the self-employed edition, you will be prompted to upgrade.
- Follow prompts to complete
