Mileage deduction

jmbrockwell — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 07:12:03 GMT

I drive for multiple delivery apps and do them at the same time. How do I go about deducting mileage for each of them? I track all mileage as my car is only used for business but I don't know how to figure out each deduction for each 1099 I'll receive.

it would seem you file only one schedule C. you will need to combine the info from all the apps

therefore it's just a matter of entering your total business mileage and selecting the standard mileage rate.

@jmbrockwell mileage from your home to the first destination and mileage from the last destination to home are not tax deductible as they are considered commuting miles.....

also, you'll have to determine the mileage for each half of the year.... the rate is 58 cents for the 1st six months and 62 cents for the last half of the year.

Q. I don't know how to figure out each deduction for each 1099-NEC I'll receive?

A. You don't do it that way. After entering your 1099's, TurboTax will enter the total (of all the 1099's) income for your "business" (self employment income entered on Schedule C of your tax return). Then yoiu will enter your expenses, including total business miles.

FYI ... there is absolutely no need to enter all those individual 1099 forms into the program ... on the Sch C income entry section you can opt to simply enter the total income from all sources as one amount. The IRS gets the 1099 info from the same place that sent it to you ... they do not get it from your tax return so making all those entries is for your benefit only and is not required. Simply skip the 1099 entry sections and use the other only ...
