Hi, Speedy Duck. Customising the Mileage report is a nice functionality.
QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) currently has limited customisation options, especially when generating reports. At this time, the Mileage report primarily includes data fields like the Date, Distance, and Address, but not the custom names or labels you've entered for favorite locations.
As a workaround, I recommend exporting the data to a CSV or Excel file. Next, manually add columns to the spreadsheet program for the address and location. The process involves manual work but provides flexibility to include the necessary details.
Here's how to export your data:
- Go to Reports.
- Next to the Mileage log, select the right tax year from the drop-down menu. Doing so filters your correct trips.
- Click View.
- To get your mileage info in a CSV file, choose Download my trips or Email trips.
For detailed information, you can check out this article: Export mileage info from QuickBooks Self-Employed.
