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.

Hello Matt Owens, thanks for posting on this thread, So you can't delete the vehicle in the miles tab. However, you can make them inactive by going to  mileage tab> click the arrow button near add trip> click manage vehicles> click the vehicle you want to make inactive> click vehicle no longer in use. Please note that we can't make inactive if the vehicle is showing primary. 


I too have to agree that not having the ability to remove a vehicle is absolutely ridiculous and as others have pointed out, the "inactive" vehicle gets imported into out Turbo Tax when we go to file our return and it causes a nightmare since the imported data creates an unused vehicle in our return that isn't even used for business. We have the ability to delete other things in other parts of QBSE, how difficult can it be, after asking over and over for the ability to remove a vehicle? 

 

Being told the same generic responses of, "our engineers are looking into it and we'll update you" has gotten old as this has been an issue for a very long time now. We pay a monthly subscription for this service and it doesn't seem like the QB team really wants to listen and improve their product for us for useful things that will not only benefit us, but improve their product and make their users lives a lot easier when it comes tax time.

 

Maybe it's time to start looking at other products since Intuit/Quickbooks don't seem interested in listening!

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.
