Vehicle mileage for work, partial payment for by company, but less than standard deduction. How do I expense the difference?

[CB52]

I asked the question last year and someone new the answer immediately, however I cannot find or remember the answer.

Thank you in advance

When you enter your mileage expenses under Job-related expenses for W-2 work, at the end of the interview, you are asked if any of the expenses were reimbursed.  You would enter the amount the company paid  you for them, leaving only the balance to be potentially deducted on Schedule A.  After the potentially deductible amount is determined, there's a further subtraction of 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income, and only then do you arrive at the final deduction amount.
