My company gave me a partial reimbursement for mileage ($0.405/mile), but it doesn't meet the federal standard. where can I report this?

If you are paid less than the Government mileage rate of $.54/mile (in 2016) you can claim the difference as follows:

1. Deduct all of your business miles at the Government mileage rate, and

2. Reduce that deduction by any reimbursement that you receive (unless it is already reported as income on your W-2.  At the end of the employee business expense interview (not at the end of the auto expense interview) one of the last questions is "Did any of your employers reimburse you for any of your expenses. At this point you would indicate that they did and, several screens after that, enter the reimbursements for other expenses (but only if they are not already included on your Form w-2 as income.)

You can no longer deduct unreimbursed employee expenses on your federal tax return. You may be able to deduct the amount on a state return, so go ahead and enter it. TurboTax will transfer any qualifying expenses to your state return, if applicable.
