Where do I put my car repairs expenses

You can enter repairs for your business vehicle in TurboTax following the steps below.  

Note that you have an option to see whether the standard mileage deduction (which takes into account gas, repairs, maintenance, depreciation) for your vehicle is more than the actual expenses deduction on your return.  So if you are going to enter your vehicle repairs, you also will want to enter all the actual expenses associated with the vehicle (gas, repairs, maintenance).  TurboTax gives you the opportunity to see which approach gives you the greater deduction, but then you will choose one or the other.  Therefore, if you select the standard mileage deduction, you will not be able to enter your car repair expenses as a separate business expense.
