My wife is in sales and drives her personal vehicle mostly for work. The car was replaced in 2019 with another vehicle, also used mostly for work. How do I handle the change over in Turbo Tax. The original car was a 2010 and was owned long before it was used for this job. Thank you in advance

Is your wife a W-2 employee? If so, W-2 job related expenses are no longer deductible as of the 2018 tax year. Not a penny.

If she's self-employed and does this driving for a business she owns and reports on SCH C as a part of your personal 1040 joint tax return, then I can help with the transition reporting, assuming you claim the vehicle "per mile" deduction on SCH C also.
