I normally complete a schedule C. I am a coach but one entity paid me with a W-2. How do I write off the miles and expenses. Do I need to put the w-2 in the section for w-2 and not put it in the income section under the schedule c section? I normally get a 1099 but they paid with a w-2.

That is correct. They paid you as an employee.

As an employee, you cannot claim expenses.

Oh that hurts for sure considering that I spent over 900 hours and was paid penny for what I normally get.

If you received a W-2, your employer considers you as an employee. The Tax Cut and Job Act of 2017 suspended unreimbursed employee business expense until 2026. You will enter the W-2 in the W-2 section and not enter it in the income section under the Schedule C section.
