Mileage reimbursement on 1099 NEC

Wren10 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:41:41 GMT

I do volunteer work and receive reimbursement for mileage at the IRS rate. This year I got a 1099-NEC for that amount so my understanding (per my TurboTax software) is I'll need to file a schedule C. I'm not sure where I should document the mileage as a deduction, though. Any guidance is appreciated.

I recommend you report the amount of your mileage reimbursement on your 1099-NEC as an "Other Miscellaneous Expenses". To enter in TurboTax, go to:

Business Income and Expenses
Business Expenses
Other Common Business Expenses
Scroll down to bottom of the screen and select "Other Miscellaneous Expenses"
Enter a description (like charitable mileage) and enter the amount.

This will result in a Schedule C with revenue and expenses the same, and net income of $0.00.
