As soon as I go past the page for selecting the standard deduction on my car (self-employment). The money is removed and my refund goes down. I am eligible for it...

I'm trying to add details for my vehicle used for self-employment (ridesharing). As soon as it shows my standard deduction value and I go to the next screen for vehicle details. The deduction gets removed.

If you are a rideshare driver you certainly can deduct vehicle cost.  You may not be in the correct version.

If you are in the TurboTax Self-Employed software go to:

• Self-Employed income and expenses
•  Post your business if you haven't yet, or REVIEW the business.
• Answer any initial questions.
• You will come to  Let's get the deductions unique to your  work.
•  You will now have the option to select expenses.
• Select Vehicle plus any others that may apply.
• Scroll to the bottom and CONTINUE.

Now proceed to answer the questions

Actual cost vs. Standard Mileage Rate
