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 ..........
