The only money that would be taxable to you would be amount they paid you for gas (as they already paid you the 54.5 cents a mile).

The reimbursement for supplies is not tax income.

The 54.5 cents a mile is not taxable income.

So if you have the amounts for gas only I would report as other income.

Click on “Take me to my return” button.
Click on Federal tab (left-hand side of screen).
Click in Wages and Income (near top of screen)
 Scroll down to Less Common Income.
Click on Start next to Miscellaneous Income.
  Click on Other reportable income.
  Follow the questions and then show the amount.

If they paid you the standard mileage rate 0f 54.5 cents and you turned in the mileage that is an accountable plan and not taxed.  

If they did the above sentence and gave you also extra for gas, then the extra amount would be income to you.

Look this over and post a comment so I can help.  Thank you

That is correct, as long as used for work purchases it is no tax issue to you.
