why is the tax summary showing inaccurate mileage information

The Tax Summary in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) calculates your mileage deduction based on your business mileage. If you entered 32,256 miles but the Tax Summary displays 102,583 miles, review your mileage records to identify the cause of the discrepancy.

To review your mileage:

1. Go to Mileage.
2. Review the mileage transactions for the affected tax year.
3. Check for additional, duplicate, automatically tracked, or imported trips.
4. Make sure only eligible trips are marked as Business.
5. Correct or delete any inaccurate mileage entries, then review the Tax Summary again.

If it still shows discrepancies, I recommend contacting Intuit live experts so they can investigate the account and determine why the Tax Summary is calculating a different mileage amount.
