I have entered mileage for a Schedule C auto but it is not flowing through. The link to the answer is not valid. Can someone help? Thanks.

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.

I was able to resolve the issue.  Thank you for your help.

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. :smile:

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