My husband receives Mileage Allowance and is declared under Box 14 of his W-2. Can he still claim job-related expenses? He keeps mileage records for using his own car.

What letter code (A, B, C, etc.)  does that amount have next to it in box 12?

Sorry, my bad. It's actually Box 14.

[Lisa995]

ok, that's sounds better...was a bit puzzled by the Box 12 reference.

@Lisa995, can i still claim his vehicle expenses?

Julie answered below.   They would be part of Misc Itemized Deductions, if that's all you have for Misc Deductions, its not worth the hassle of entering them, it wont make any difference to your tax return or refund.

A taxpayer can deduct any business miles that were not fully reimbursed at the max IRS rate by the employer. The tax payer must itemize deductions in order to claim the deduction, otherwise, the expenses are just a part of tax payer’s standard deduction.

Additionally, mileage can only be deducted if it exceeds 2% of the tax payer’s AGI (the adjusted gross income is lower than your gross income). So if you don’t drive this much, you should ask your employer to reimburse you instead (or find a new job).
