Virginia Schedule FED is generally required when a Schedule C business includes a vehicle expense/mileage deduction (car and truck expenses) that requires federal line-item detail to be reported on Schedule FED. The appropriate expense amounts and other information entered in the Federal Q&A section for Schedule C will automatically flow to Schedule FED.

If you have a car or truck expense entered on Schedule C, use the following steps to add your Virginia Schedule FED information in TaxAct:
