Keep going until you reach the end of the
employee business deductions (Not the end of the auto business deductions)
until you arrive to a screen titled Reimbursements for Your Expenses

When asked “Did any of your employers
reimburse you for any of your expenses?” answer “Yes”

the total business miles driven and multiplying it times the rate at which your
employer reimbursed you.
