Hello there, SeanScammed,

 

Deleting a vehicle in QuickBooks Self-Employed is currently unavailable. You don't have to worry about it since mileage is what matters. Make sure to select the vehicle you used when tracking the trip.

 

I'll pass along this feedback to our product engineers.
 

Don't hesitate to post in the Community if you have any concerns.

"You don't have to worry about it"??

Wrong ... it is a real pain because qbse keeps putting my old vehicle in as default ... so I have to manually edit the vehicle on every single entry :-(
Why can't we just simply delete a vehicle that we no longer own?
please "pass along this feedback to our product engineers."

Please also mention that the qbse android app doenst play so nicely any more since android upgraded to [9] pie.

First of all, I appreciate the attempt at a workaround, except there is no (vehicle no longer in use option). As far as my concern about being heard, It's more of a feeling of, why was this feature not implemented from the get-go? It's a mileage tracker, not an asset tracker. Why add the ability to add something without also adding the ability to remove it? I understand vetting the feature to make sure it functions but almost 3 years with no change? honesty it would not be that big of a deal if it was not for the constant "your not tracking your miles" notification despite having everything disabled. The big one today was when importing everything to turbo tax it auto-generated a schedule c, again despite having 0 trips recorded and tracking disabled and it took a TurboTax expert 15 minutes to figure out how to remove it after I couldn't find it since everything on TurboTax's side showed no vehicle entered. We ended up having to enter it on their side and then delete it. Luckily they have a fancy trash can icon that deletes unwanted entries. 


Update: just checked back in with Intuit support. 4-28-23

 

After stating my request to remove a vehicle and an agent taking down my information, they disconnected, Twice! The third time was the charm though, although the news was nothing new. For some reason a lengthy explanation was needed to explain why I wanted to remove a vehicle I no longer own to prevent the TurboTax import mishap, it's still the same.


"Thank you for confirming. Please be informed that the option to remove a vehicle in QB Self-Employed is
currently not available as the product is working as designed. For now, we can only add vehicles. We do
understand that this feature is a great addition to our product if ever it was available. Having this feature
in Intuit QB Self-Employed would give more flexibility to it and would allow it to be more organized. We'll
surely consider this as our top priority and once we have it available in the system, an update will be
deployed right away"
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. However, as much as we would love to
delete the vehicle, we're unable to do so since we currently do not have that option in QB Self-Employed.
I'll make sure to submit a feedback to our Product Team for future updates of the product. "
"We do intend to add it to our service and we can notify you when it has been done."

Here's hoping that with 4 years down another 8 months is all they need to add a simple remove option.

agree and echo what everyone else said. it is absolutely ridiculous that this feature is still not implemented. I import my QBSE info to turbotax each year, and it's a real pain to carry over a vehicle into my annual taxes that NO LONGER EXISTS.
