Is there a faster way to add in trips in the mileage log? I have a years worth of miles to put in.

Good day, @aguarose. 

Thank you for posting to the Community. 

We can lump sum the enter trip from last year. We just need to add the trip then enter the miles from last year. 

Though, we can track mileage automatically. All you have to do is turn on the app and let QuickBooks work on it. 

For additional information on this, I recommend the following article: Use automatic mileage tracking for QuickBooks Self-Employed. 

Also, for additional insight about how to manually add mileage in the mobile app you can click that link. 

Please come back to the Community if you have need anything about this. You're always welcome to post in the Community. Have a great day!

can you please explain further how to add a lump sum of business mileage? Did you mean to create just a single trip with what date? and add the total miles for the year in the distance so there is only one mileage trip listed?

can you please explain further how to add a lump sum mileage to the tax form? Did you mean to create a single trip with what date? and add the total miles for the year into the distance field?

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, @rosenic12.

You've got me here to elucidate the process of adding lump sum business mileage in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

To track a lump sum mileage, you'll need to add a single trip that includes the accurate date range when as to it happens together with its total miles.

To do that:

1. Tick on Miles from the left menu.
2. Select Add trip. If this is your first trip, it'll ask you to complete the fields in the Vehicle info drawer first.
3. Enter the trip date (entire duration of the trip).
4. Fill in the start address, end address, then hit on Add.
5. Key in the total distance in miles and the Trip purpose.
6. Press on Save.

For more details on how mileage works in QBSE, please check out this article: About the Miles page and vehicle info settings.

I've also got here some great links that you can visit about managing trips and on how the system calculates your deductions:

there is no option to add a date "range" only a single date. how do I add a range.

and let me make sure I'm explaining my request correctly.

I know the total mile I drove for all of my business trips I just not able to enter all of the individual trips, so I am looking to enter the total business miles in a single trip.

thanks for you help

Thanks for your reply, @rosenic12.

At this time, you can only input a single date for a trip and not a date range in QuickBooks Self-Employed. I'm going to submit feedback to our Product Development Team about bringing in a feature that will allow a date range. You can visit our Blog to see what new to our products and what's coming in the future.

In the meantime, you can put the date range in the Trip purpose along with any other details. For more information about the Mileage tab, click here.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always here if you need me. Have a beautiful day!
