Mileage reimbursement on 1099 NEC

I do volunteer work and receive reimbursement for mileage at the IRS rate. This year I got a 1099-NEC for that amount so my understanding (per my TurboTax software) is I'll need to file a schedule C. I'm not sure where I should document the mileage as a deduction, though. Any guidance is appreciated.

    I recommend you report the amount of your mileage reimbursement on your 1099-NEC as an "Other Miscellaneous Expenses".  To enter in TurboTax, go to:

     

    • Business Income and Expenses
    • Business Expenses
    • Other Common Business Expenses
    • Scroll down to bottom of the screen and select "Other Miscellaneous Expenses"
    • Enter a description (like charitable mileage) and enter the amount.

    This will result in a Schedule C with revenue and expenses the same, and net income of $0.00.
