About the Trips page and vehicle info settings

Learn how to enter and change info about the vehicle you use for work.

If you track mileage with the QuickBooks Self-Employed app, you should also enter info about the vehicle you use. QuickBooks Self-Employed keeps track of your mileage and the value of your vehicle, whether you own or lease it. And if you use it for both personal and business trips, don't worry. We help you estimate your business travel so you can make accurate deductions.
