Another option is to allocate and deduct mileage to each property. However the TurboTax software auto calculate personal mileage by subtracting business mileage from the total driven for a year for the car. Since I use the same vehicle for multiple properties, this option is a little bit too complicated.
Since your LLC is in the business of managing the rental properties, you should report the miles driven for business on your LLC return (Schedule C or other as applicable).
To enter your mileage in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:
That's good. A follow-up question. My LLC is a disregarded entity. while all the income is passed on to my SSN and treated as separate rentals, is it OK for me to record mileage under the LLC?
If you are "in the business" of running rentals, even though your income derives from the rentals themselves, it would be appropriate to have business expenses that are not directly attributable to the rentals, otherwise known as overhead expenses. A rental property itself is not eligible to report business miles so reporting any overhead costs on Schedule C is the correct way to report.
