I have been getting the same the past 9 years and this year it's not showing up in the same cells on turbo tax as past years.

I get a 1099-misc with the allowance in 3-other

Normally I right off the additional cost of car insurance I need to carry, mileage, oil changes, tires, ect to offset the allowance.

My understanding is that if you get an allowance that is non-taxed (1099) then you cannot write off expenses on your tax return as it is an accountable plan. The only time (in my understanding) that you can write off vehicle expenses is if the allowance is taxed.

I'm sure someone will arrive to clarify or correct me.
