Here are steps for where in TurboTax you can enter your business use of your car.  You can decide whether to deduct actual expenses or use the standard mileage rate deduction (see rates below.)

Note that if you want to use standard mileage deduction, you must select that option in the first year of business use of that vehicle.  See more information in the second link below.
