Question

How do I enter my daily mileage, such as trips to the post office and thrift store etc? I see where I can add them but do not see them in my totals on expenses

Hello there!

 

I appreciate you sharing your concern with us. Rest assured, I’m here to help you see your daily mileage in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Once you've entered your mileage, we can review it in the Business or Personal section on the Mileage page. You might be in the Unreviewed section, which is why you’re unable to see them. I'll show you how: 

 

  1. From the left pane, go to Mileage.
  2. Choose Business or Personal or All tab.
  3. Find the Mileage you’ve entered. 




Here’s an article you can refer to further guide you in tracking mileage: Automatically track mileage.  

 

On the other hand, we can also run a Profit and Loss report to see all the expenses listed in your mileage expense account. For more details about this process, check out this guide: Run reports in QuickBooks Online. It gives you an overview of reports that gives you a snapshot of your business. 

 

Moreover, I’ll be adding this resource here for more details on how to enter mileage in QBO: Reimburse employees' mileage and vehicle expenses in QuickBooks Online.

 

Keep me posted if you still have questions or concerns about mileage and expenses in QuickBooks Online. I'll be around for you. Have a wonderful day, and stay safe at all times.

Thanks buy none of this helps or answers my questions. Sure I can see my mileage entries but they are not being applied to my expenses like they automatically do with godaddy...and I don't want to use mileage tracker . I just simply want to manually enter my miles in whem i go buy goods or go yo yard sales to buy goods to sell on ebay etc,like I always have ...can we not do this simple task on quickbooks? Why do they make it so difficult? I just want to enter my miles and see them added on as an expense. Same with purchasing items to resell...they should automatically go into cost of goods sold or some kind of expense.  Is this possible?
