How do I deduct flight and travel expenses for military reserve drill

Hello,

 

I live in Massachusetts but travel to Hawaii for my military reserve drill twice a year. One is funded (no travel reimbursement) and one is unfunded. I have flight expenses and gas expenses for the car I borrowed while I was in Hawaii. There does not seem to be a box for me to enter flight expenses on the military expenses portion. Nor does there seem to be a box to enter gas under vehicle expenses. It only says Parking, Tolls, Fees.

 

My question is how do I enter these expenses?

Military travel expenses are entered on Form 2106. It is a miscellanous expense, which should flow to Line 4. 

 

Vehicle expenses are not just an entry. You would either take actual expenses, based on a percentage of how many business vs personal miles were used. To take standard mileage, you must own the car.

 

In forms mode, manually add your air travel to Line 4, Form 2106.
