Schedule C Auto Expenses

I have a schedule C business. A client reimbursed me for part of the auto expenses on a trip. The part reimbursed does not cover the full amount allowed by the IRS. How do I claim the expense but subtract the partial reimbursement? Thank you.

You do not claim the reimbursement as part of the auto expenses.  Instead, you just include the reimbursement as part as your self-employment income. So you will add it to your gross receipts. It does not get accounted for separately.
