Tax Year Prior to 2020: I may have to use Form 2106

[jane3marie3echeg]

I do field collections and use my car to go from customer to customer to customer. I am not reimbursed for my vehicle expenses. Last year we were converted to employee status and I used to file my Schedule C. Can I deduct all that mileage I described above?

Yes, you can claim the unreimbursed mileage from customer-to-customer.  However, you cannot claim it for commuting to your normal work location.

For the time you worked as an "employee" receiving a W-2, and they are not reimbursed to you, then you can deduct them as an Unreimbursed Employee Business Form 2106.  It goes on Schedule A Itemized Deductions in the Misc section subject to a 2% of Adjusted Gross Income threshold.  If you don't itemize, then deducting them won't benefit you.  You can try it both ways and see which works out better for you. 

Where do I enter job-related employee expenses? (Form 2106)

If that doesn't work for you, you can get to the correct area as follows:

• Federal Taxes tab (Personal tab In the Home & Business version)
• Deductions and Credits
• scroll down to Employment Expenses
• then, Job Expenses
