DISALLOWABLE EXPENSES Why has my fuel been put in this section?

Hi there, @markbatchelor82. I'm here with some information about the simplified method in tracking your business car expenses.

Using the simplified method, you can't claim vehicle insurance, repairs, and servicing, or fuel costs, but you can claim all other travel expenses in addition to your simplified expense amount. On a manual entry, the Car Vehicle category will push into the disallowable section. If you need this to be allowable, you'd have to add and categorize them as Travel Expenses on the Transactions page.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Transactions menu.
2. Click Add Transaction.
3. Select Business if the transaction was for business, or select Personal for personal. If the transaction was both, select Split.
4. Select Travel Expense as a Category.
5. Click Save.

You can find more information about allowable expenses in these articles:

• Simplified Expenses mileage method
• About car, van, and travel expenses
• About SA103F Categories

Once done, run the Tax Summary report and review your allowable expenses under Travel expenses.

Fill me in if you have additional questions about expenses in QuickBooks. I'm always here to help. Take care always.   

I have the same issue . After following these steps I suppose I will need to exclude all the travel expenses that are already registered as disallowed
