My husband gets a 1099 for auto allowance from his W2 employer. His employer also pays his gas expenses. Can we still claim mileage in the deductions?

[IsabellaG · Accepted solution]

Yes, but you'll have to reduce the expense by his reimbursement for gas, unless that was included in his W-2 as income. 

1. Enter your mileage information in Employment Expenses under Job Expenses.
2. You will answer a lot of questions about your car and your mileage.Make sure to enter the entire expense. After it looks like you have finished, keep going! You'll go through a series of questions that have nothing to do with your car, but relate to other expenses.
3. You will ultimately reach the screen Reimbursements for your expenses and you will answer yes. Next, you will enter how much you received.
