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.

When it's time to do your taxes, all the info you need is in one place. Here's how to enter and update your vehicle info in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

The Trips page

Track the kilometres you drive for business with both the web and mobile app.

• The web app lets you import mileage you record in the MileIQ mobile app.
• The mobile app uses GPS in your phone to track your trips automatically.

Both apps let you enter trips manually and always remain in sync, so no matter which app you're using, you'll always have the latest info. Tip! Trips tracked on your phone appear in the web app with a small map pin on the right side.

You can't edit the kilometres on these particular trips.

1. Select Trips from the left menu.
2. Select Add trip. (If this is your first trip, we'll ask you to complete the fields in the Vehicle info drawer first).
3. Enter the Trip date, distance, starting point, and ending point.
