As a Pastor filing as a contractor, is my mileage to be under Personal Deduction & credits tab or Business expenses? I have no 1099. my income is Housing Allowance only

Thank you so very much. That brings it all together. I have understanding now. To ensure that I follow the steps I may call in have someone verify I have done the steps correctly. But the help I have received, from you and the community has given me an abundance of confidence. Thank You.

I thank you again for your excellent help. I followed yours and Ernie's instructions and the 901 for Mileage reduction was applied! As I near crunch time I called TurboTax to verify my return.  Peter, the Turbo Tax help had me to do to Schedule C Worksheet and enter the same Mileage Data that I wrongly put into the personal deductions tab. It gave the same amount and my refund Fed- & owed MD state changed. Question: do I go back to the tab for the adjustment to the Self-Employment Tax and remove the 901 from  Ministerial Business Expense that I placed there? I am concerned that this maybe a double entry? Also, I purchased a lap top for the church, that also was placed in the persona deductions and credits- tab. Am I to place it also in the Schedule C? Thank You!

Please for give me. I did not see this reply when I was using my phone to check the replies. As I am about to file I called TurboTax to go over my tax form. I was directed to use the Schedule C to compile the correct Data for the amount placed in the Ministerial Business Expense box. it came out to the same 901. The Fed and State Amounts changed. Do I just Delete the Schedule C? I also Purchased a Lap top. Do I leave that where it is in the personal credits and deductions (No change resulted from it on the Fed return) or do I use the Schedule C for that only not the mileage? Thank you so very much. I am trying not to get stressed but this new tax law has not been kind.
