Under Deductions & Credits, select Job-related Expenses under Employment Expenses

After you enter the mileage for your job, keep going till you get to Reimbursements for your expenses.  Put the amount that you received in partial payment for your mileage.  The difference will show up on Form 2106, which will be carried over to your Schedule A.

Can you deduct mileage?

For the tax years 2018-2025, employees cannot deduct business mileage. However, job-related expenses might be deductible in your state even if they’re not deductible on your federal return. You can enter your expenses on your return and TurboTax will figure out if you can deduct them.

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

 

If you’re self-employed, you can deduct expenses for the miles you drive or deduct the actual vehicle expenses for business purposes.

You will report your vehicle expenses on schedule C.
