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.
You would enter your unreimbursed employment expenses under Federal Taxes>Deductions and Credits> I'll choose what I work on (or jump to full list)> scroll down to Employment Expenses> Job-related expenses (start/update). Use the TurboTax guide to help you enter these expense.
