Un-reimbursed gas mileage

michele-konwinsk — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 18:35:26 GMT

My company reimburses my mileage for work related travel at 40.5 cents per mile. As I understand it, PA reimburses at 54 cents per mile. Is there a way to deduct the un-reimbursed mileage, or receive a credit for the 13.5 cents?

Yes, you can enter your reimbursed mileage and claim the remainder of 13.5 cents(the standard mileage rate is 54 cents for 2016).

To claim the difference between the standard mileage rate and what you were reimbursed:

1. Go to the search bar in the top right and enter “job expenses, employee”

2. Select “Jump to job expenses, employee”

3. Enter your occupation and proceed to answer the questions

4. When you arrive to “Any Vehicle Expenses or Sales?” select “Yes”

5. Continue answering the questions and enter the mileage for your vehicle

6. When asked “Did You Use The Standard Mileage Rate?” select “Yes”

7. When asked “Do you want to see if your actual vehicle expenses give you a bigger deduction? Answer “No”

8. Keep going until you reach the end of the employee business deductions (Not the end of the auto business deductions) until you arrive to a screen titled Reimbursements for Your Expenses

9. When asked “Did any of your employers reimburse you for any of your expenses?” answer “Yes”

10. Now you should be at the “Tell Us About Reimbursements” page. Enter the reimbursements you received for mileage from your employer.

11. You can calculate that amount if you don’t have it by: taking the total business miles driven and multiplying it times the rate at which your employer reimbursed you.

12. Continue to the Job Expenses Summary page and your total expense reimbursement should now be the difference between the standard mileage rate and your employers reimbursement rate for your business miles driven
