Today TaxMama hears from Gary in Texas, who wants to know. “Am I allowed to deduct the difference between what my company reimburses me for mileage and what the IRS allows?

If so, what form do I use?”
Yes Gary,
You certainly may.
Use Form 2106 – Employee Business Expenses https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2106.pdf .
https://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/ch06.html#d0e6915
Report ALL your mileage on the form, as well as any other business expenses that exceed your company’s reimbursement practices.
Enter your mileage, tolls, parking, etc. And all your other out-of-pocket expenses.
Then, on line 7, deduct the reimbursements you’ve received from your company.
Unfortunately though, unless you have other large itemized deductions, like a mortgage, or you tithe, odds are that you will not have enough expenses on Form 2106 to actually create a deduction.
The Form 2106 expenses must be higher than 2% of your adjusted gross income (the amount at the bottom of page 1 of your Form 1040) before you can even deduct one penny.
