Do I enter the total costs of diesel fuel as a business travel expense?

[ktrooper13]

Independent Owner Operator truck driver.  As I understand total costs of diesel fuel bought in the year is deductible.  Am I correctly entering this as a line item "Diesel Fuel" under the business and travel expense page? If not am I expected to enter it on the "Gas" line after entering my vehicle information?  Thanks

You can enter it as a separate line item on the Schedule C:

Business Expenses > Other Common Business Expenses > Other miscellaneous Expenses, as a separate line item Diesel Fuel.

Since the business of the Schedule C is transportation I would report all the truck costs directly on the Schedule C, rather than as vehicle expense.
