Mileage reimbursement on 1099 NEC

[Wren10]

I do volunteer work and receive reimbursement for mileage at the IRS rate. This year I got a 1099-NEC for that amount so my understanding (per my TurboTax software) is I'll need to file a schedule C. I'm not sure where I should document the mileage as a deduction, though. Any guidance is appreciated.

I recommend you report the amount of your mileage reimbursement on your 1099-NEC as an "Other Miscellaneous Expenses".  To enter in TurboTax, go to:

• Business Income and Expenses
• Business Expenses
• Other Common Business Expenses
• Scroll down to bottom of the screen and select "Other Miscellaneous Expenses"
• Enter a description (like charitable mileage) and enter the amount.

This will result in a Schedule C with revenue and expenses the same, and net income of $0.00.
