I am reimbursed for mileage at 1/2 of the IRS rate. Can I write off the other 1/2 of my mileage?

[margaritian]

My company provides me with a monthly allowance, that is taxed, for me to purchase/maintain a car to use for business. They also reimburse my mileage at 1/2 of the IRS mileage reimbursement rate. Can I write off the other 1/2 of the mileage reimbursement rate? If so, which Turbotax product is best to use for this situation?

Are you an independent contractor or a W-2 employee?    If you are an independent contractor, your business expenses go on your Schedule C.

-W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses
