Turbo tax has taken me directly to vehicle depreciation and expenses, however I want to claim mileage. How do I go back and switch to claiming only mileage?

Did you claim depreciation and expenses last year? If you want to use the standard mileage rate method in any year, you have to do that the first tax year you use your car for business. Then, you can freely switch back and forth. However, if you use the actual expense method in the first year, you need to always use the actual method for the vehicle in all future years.

Be sure you have answered the questions regarding the expenses you took last year in order to claim mileage this year, if allowed.
