I need to calculate my mileage deduction for my Reserve Military travel.

[PatriciaV · Accepted solution]

You may report your expenses under Job Related Expenses & follow the prompts for Reserve Military entries. TurboTax will handle the entries to your tax return for the best result in your situation.

The easiest way to find this section of TurboTax is to use the Search box at the top right side of the TurboTax header. Type in  "2106" and hit Enter. Click on the "jump to 2106" link to the Job-Related Expenses section.

Note: If you are a member of a reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States and you travel more than 100 miles away from home in connection with your performance of services as a member of the reserves, you can deduct some of your travel expenses as an adjustment to gross income rather than as a miscellaneous itemized deduction. The amount of expenses you can deduct as an adjustment to gross income is limited to the regular federal per diem rate (for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses) and the standard mileage rate (for car expenses) plus any parking fees, ferry fees, and tolls. The balance, if any, is reported on Schedule A. TurboTax will help you report these expenses.
