Home health mileage

[Brabbisa]

I work home health and am not reimbursed for mileage. Can I claim it on my taxes?

Not if you are an employee. Post again if you are an independent contractor.

Are you a W-2 employee?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses

If you worked as an independent contractor, then your mileage goes on a Schedule C with your other business expenses when you enter your self-employment income.   If you were an independent contractor post back for further help.
