Where does a self-employed mover enter truck/vehicle rental expenses? The obvious place is under Business Income and Expenses - Rental Expenses. But there is a bolded line to not include vehicle expenses. These truck/vehicle rentals are intrinsic to my job as a mover. The truck rentals are used for the actual work, not a car rental on a business trip to get one place to another. Thank you for any help!
