"If you're in stop-and-go traffic, the app may record multiple short trips instead of one trip. You don't have to edit these trips if you don't want to."

I have found this happening at traffic lights. Why hasn't it been fixed yet?

Hello there, @pjs.

 

Let's boost your location accuracy to ensure the app tracks mileage in slow-moving traffic or stop-and-go trip. To do so, let's turn on some settings on your phone to improve the accuracy. Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Self-Employed mobile app.
  2. Click the Menu ☰ icon, then select Settings.
  3. Choose Mileage settings.
  4. To improve accuracy in slow-moving traffic, turn on the Track slow speed trips setting.
  5. To improve accuracy in recording addresses, turn on the Boost location accuracy setting.

Just in case you want to get your federal estimated quarterly tax payment and annual tax info, you can read through this article for the detailed steps and information: Get quarterly and annual tax info from QuickBooks Self-Employed.
