It depends but you will either claim actual costs (gas, repairs, etc.) or the IRS standard mileage rate for business but not both.
Business miles can
be deductible if you are an employee (as a job-related expense, if you itemize
and are subject to a 2% AGI limitation). Please note that you will only be able
to take a job-related deduction for mileage as an employee for unreimbursed business
miles.
To deduct
unreimbursed business miles as an employee in TurboTax Online (for TurboTax
Online sign-in, click Here) or
Desktop, please follow these steps:
You would enter your
unreimbursed employment expenses under Federal Taxes>Deductions and
Credits> I'll choose what I work on (show more tax breaks)> scroll down
to Employment Expenses> Job-related expenses (start/update). Use the
TurboTax guide to help you enter these expense.
- Say "yes" to
question "Did you have any of these expenses in 2017 for your W-2
income?" under the screen titled "Employment Expenses Related to
a W-2".
- after about 6 to 10
question screens, you will get to a screen titled "Job-Related
Expenses" you can put this information here. List as "additional
