How to enter mileage

[jtrain4life35]

I am a W2 employee but I drive a lot of miles with my personal vehicle for business.  Do I need to use the self-employed upgrade to deduct my mileage?  My mileage is well over the standard deduction.

1. Select "Federal" at the top of the page
2. Select the "Deductions & Credits" sub-tab
3. Scroll down to "Employment Expenses" and select "Show More"
4. Select "Start/Revisit" next to "Job-Related Expenses"
5. Select "Edit" next to your occupation(Or enter it when asked)
6. Continue through the next few screens answering questions until you are asked to enter your vehicle info
7. If you drove you can also deduct mileage when you get to that screen
   
8. Choose to enter your actual expenses when asked and you will arrive to a screen to enter gas expenses, tire expenses, oil expenses, parking etc.
