TurboTax mileage deduction not showing on line 9 Sch. C

[tomham]

I receive income via 1099-Misc as a part time employee.  I use my personal car for security work.  When I fill out the TurboTax worksheet for mileage deduction it said "Great Job" but the amount did not transfer as a deduction on Schedule C, line 9.   I can't figure out what I did wrong.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks.   ........  Tom  ..........

Look at the return ... if you got a 1099-misc did the income show up on the Sch 1 line 8 ?

Thanks so much for your response.

My 1099 Misc income showed up on line 3 (business income - Sch. C), but not on any of the line 8 line items.

I would have thought that the mileage information would have been transferred to line 9 (car & truck expenses) on Sch. C, but it did not.  I guess I can always "force" that amount into Sch.C next year via an override, but surprised that TurboTax did not pick it up.

Am I missing something?  I just answered the TTax questions and assumed the necessary transfer would happen.   Thanks again for your help.    🙂    .........  Tom  ..........
