How to deduct MileIQ app price using Turbotax?

I am a freelance worker and I use the mileiq app to track my miles. This app costs me $60/annually and I am wondering how can I deduct this price when I file my taxes through turbotax?

Does this count under "other miscellaneous expenses"?

There are 17 unique categories for entering business expenses in the TurboTax Home and Business program for a Schedule C.  If you have a particular expense that does not fit in the other 16 categories listed use Other Miscellaneous Expenses at the bottom of the list.

  • Click on Business
  • Click on Business Income and Expenses
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on
  • On Profit or Loss from Business, click on the start or update button

On the next screen, click on Edit for your business listed.

On the next screen scroll down to Business Expenses

On Other Common Business Expenses, click on the start or update button

Thanks for your response. However, when I am on Turbotax, I go into the "Federal" portion where I see my self-employment income and expenses but I don't see "Business" or "Business income and expenses" anywhere.

The first 2 steps are for the downloaded version ... simply click on the SE section of the program and continue with the expenses section.
