How do i add additional vehicles for job deductions?

If this is for a W-2 job you have, then no job related expenses are deductible at all, including vehicle expenses.

If this is for a business you own and report on SCH C as a part of your personal tax return, *and* you own the vehicle, then it's entered in the Business Expenses - Business Vehicle Expenses section.

How do i add additional vehicles for job deductions?

If you are self employed, follow the instructions below to enter your vehicle expenses:

  1. Go to Federal Taxes.
  2. Wages and Income
  3. Click Edit next to Self employment.
  4. If reporting the vehicle expenses for the first time, scroll down and select Add Expenses for this work and select vehicle expense. If adding another vehicle Select Start next to Vehicle expense and on the next screen select Add Another vehicle. 

If you are an employee, Job Related Expenses are no longer deductible in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017.

However, the job-related expenses deduction is still available to people who work in one of these specific professions or situations:

 

  • Armed Forces reservist
  • Qualified performing artist
  • Fee-basis state or local government official
  • You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses

Additionally, job-related expenses may be deductible in your state. Enter your expenses and we’ll figure out if you can deduct them. For more information check Can employees deduct any job-related expenses?
