Question

Wages state/federal by mileage

  • March 1, 2021

I drive from my home state of NH to punch in at my Vermont job. I then take my truck and do a route that is mostly in NH. My employer has not split up VT/NH wages on my W2 but has supplied me with a milage in both states.

 

How do I enter this into Turbo Tax?

    Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct mileage on a federal return.  W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on the federal return.

    You will make your entries in the Federal interview section.

     

    Your entries will be pulled into your state return accordingly even though they are not deductible on your federal return as mentioned above.

    1. Go to Deductions & Credits 
    2. Under  All breaks, select Employment Expenses 
    3. Select Job Expenses for W-2 Income 
    4. Proceed to enter the applicable expenses.
