When asked “Did You Use The Standard
Mileage Rate?” select “Yes”
7.
When asked “Do you want to see if your
actual vehicle expenses give you a bigger deduction? Answer “No”
8.
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

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.

total expense reimbursement should now be the difference between the
standard mileage rate and your employers reimbursement rate for your
business miles driven
