How do I deduct mileage for a Misc. Income when I don't receive a form 1099? I put the income into Misc. Income under "Less Common Income".

I get paid for blood plasma donations, which I do not receive a 1099. Researching it through TurboTax, it says to enter those payments (made to a prepaid debit card) as Miscellaneous Income under the "Less Common Income" section. Where do I go to deduct mileage related to the blood plasma donation income?

Another Turbotax rep said that you need to report plasma donation as a 1099 income, which I thought you could deduct mileage against (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2342656-plasma-donation-as-taxable-income">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2342656-plasma-donation-as-taxable-income</a>).

The only places in a tax return where you can deduct miles is either for a self-employed business (Schedule C), as a medical expense (where you are getting medical treatment), or as a charitable contribution. The fact that you receive a payment for your donation clouds whether the miles can be claimed as a charitable contribution. The other two options would not apply.
