PTO doesn't need any entry for actual expenses to trigger...

Did you choose an Activity Name in addition to the Form? This is the only missing link I could imagine if you got the milage details entered correctly.

If standard mileage rate is claimed in lieu of depreciation, these entries should all be made under Deductions > Emp. Bus. Expenses (2106).

Please let us know if this doesn't resolve your issue.

I did select an activity and an activity name. Still no deduction. This is a Schedule C so the Form 2106 would not apply.

Did you try my suggestion from the other thread?

In Lacerte - you have to enter at least a dollar in actual expenses to trigger the mileage computaion. PTO *may* work the same way.

PTO doesn't need any entry for actual expenses to trigger standard mileage rate calculation.

I'm using ProConnect. I did enter a dollar in actual expense but it did not trigger the expense.
