Can I deduct her self-employment mileage? My wife has mileage as a real estate agent/2nd job. Filing married and jointly. we are taking the standard deduction.

In what section is her mileage listed? I cannot find a place for it in the self-employment section of TurboTax.

It depends on how she is paid.  If she is paid as a 1099 independent contractor, then yes, you can deduct this as a business expense on her Schedule C.

 

If she is paid as a W-2 employee, then no, employee job related expenses are not deductible.
