It's saying my business miles are greater than my total miles.

Hello, patrick. We are happy to see you here in the Community with your concern about your business mileage being greater than the total mileage in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). Let us share some insights about it.

We can understand the importance of tracking mileage in our program. If you're automatically tracking mileage in QBSE, normally, you'll have greater business mileage than the total mileage. QuickBooks automatically detects and tracks everything from start to finish. Also, it uses the standard mileage method to estimate your tax deductions. To calculate the deduction, QuickBooks multiplies your total business miles by the current rate per mile set by the IRS. Even though QuickBooks uses the standard mileage method, you don't have to use it when you file your taxes. You can calculate your actual vehicle expenses and miles traveled, which is known as the actual expenses method.

If you want to keep your business mileage in sync with what's on your QuickBooks total mileage, you'll want to manually track or add mileage. See this article for details: Manually track mileage in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

There is no apparent remedy.
