If I had spent about $400 in gas from Jan-April for an intern, should I use that as a business expense when reporting my 1099-MISC? will i get bigger return?

Were you the intern? Why do you think that that is a business expense?

The cost of commuting to and from work or school is a personal commuting expense and it is not deductible.
