How and where do I claim mileage?

The IRS doesn’t reimburse you for the mileage you claimed on your Schedule C.

The mileage amount that you’ve calculated merely offsets any self-employment income that you’ve made. Self-employment tax is then calculated on your net self-employment – your self-employment income, minus your self-employment expenses, which include your mileage expenses.

If your tax return indicates that you’re getting a $1,400 refund, then that’s all you’ll get.
