Can I file for vehicle expenses if I only have 1 W2?

Yes, if you had mileage expenses for your W-2 job for which you were NOT reimbursed, you can deduct mileage related to work as a job-related expense on your tax return.  Commuting mileage is not deductible even though not reimbursed.

Note, though, that job-related expenses are included as itemized expenses and, therefore, only deductible if you itemize instead of taking the standard deduction.  Plus, the only amount of job-related expenses that will be included in your itemized expenses are those that exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.  

Here is more information on deducting mileage and where to enter those expenses in TurboTax:
