1099 MISC deductions questions

The only deduction I have is mileage, approx 1470 miles. Would this be worth upgrading to the self employment service turbo tax offers.

Yes, it probably is worth upgrading. But, it depends on your situation.  Your miles are worth a standard mileage deduction of $794 (1470 @ $ .54). I do not know what your income tax rate is.  However, it also lowers the amount of net earnings from self-employment subject to self-employment tax (15.3%). In addition, you may have other expenses that you will be able to claim by upgrading to the self-employment edition.
