Click on the "income' tab

select "Self-employed- business or professional"

Check mark "ProfessionalCommission, and/or Other type of business" and continue through the screens.

It is NOT in the deductions tab. You follow the self-employed screens. Each screen ask for different information. You have to say yes to having motor vehicle expenses for them to show up.
