I can't add a 3rd vehicle to my deductions

My Husband and I are filing jointly and we both use our vehicles for work. My vehicle was totaled in the middle of last year and I purchased a new one. I would like to deduct the miles I drove for work before my vehicle was totaled, but there is not a way to add another vehicle. We can only add our current vehicles.

Yes, although Form 2106 is limited to two vehicles, you can report your third vehicle by adding another copy of Form 2106.

Here is how you can create a second Form 2106:

  1. Enter job expenses, employee in the TurboTax search box and click Jump to... or press the Enter key.
  2. On the Job-Related Expenses Summary screen, you'll see your first occupation (the one with vehicles one & two entered). Click Add Another Occupation.
  3. You'll see a new Tell Us About the Occupation You Have Expenses For screen. Enter a second (#2) occupation (which may be the same as your first occupation) and continue answering the questions.
  4. At the  Tell Us About Your Vehicle screen, enter your third vehicle, then Continue through the interview
  5. On the  Vehicle Summary screen, if you wish to add a fourth vehicle, click the Add a Vehicle button and enter the information for your fourth vehicle.
