There is a way to remove a vehicle that is no longer used within QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), eugeneslyen. I'll provide the instructions on how to achieve this.
Before we proceed, please note that if you have only one vehicle registered in QBSE, it is automatically considered your primary vehicle and cannot be removed from the program.
To remove the vehicle in question, you need to set it as inactive. This is only possible if you have multiple vehicles or if you add a new one to your account. This way, you can change the status of your current primary vehicle to inactive.
Here’s how to add a new vehicle:
- Log into your QBSE account.
- Click on the Gear icon and select Vehicle info.
- Under the Manage Vehicles tab, click on Add Vehicle.

- Input your vehicle's details and choose how you’d like to record your mileage for the year in the Tax info section.
- Click Save when finished.
Next, to assign a primary vehicle, follow these steps:
- Return to the Gear icon and go to Vehicle info.
- Select the Vehicle you wish to set as primary under Manage Vehicles.

- Toggle on the Set as primary vehicle switch and then click Save.
By following these instructions, you can effectively manage your vehicles by making it inactive in QBSE.
