I need to change from mileage to actual for auto expenses". 2019 i recorded mileage but i want to use acutal expenses instead

Hi @adamsoftind,

You can use the actual expenses method to deduct the cost of operating your business vehicle. Then, you can manually add transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed and select the category.

Here's how to add a new transaction:

1. Go to the Transaction menu.
2. Choose Add Transaction.
3. Enter the amount and the descriptions.
4. Select a category menu and choose the option to organize your transactions.
5. Hit Save.

To ensure you're choosing the correct category, I suggest seeking expert advice from an accountant. They can give you more ways to track these expenses for easy filing to the agency.

For more detailed information, you can check the following articles about examples about this category, as well as the list of categories we renamed and added, and where each account appear on various reports:

I'm always here if you need anything else. Thanks for dropping by.
