Changed vehicles and QBSE keeps making me select a vehicle for line items like Parking and Tolls

I had a vehicle, and I've marked it out of service 2 years ago.

I have a new vehicle since then which is Primary.

Why do I have to select the Primary for every vehicle-related transaction when there's only one active vehicle, the primary one?

Cannot find a solution in help; discovered the community today so trying here...

 

Warm Regards,

David

Active and inactive vehicles will show in the Vehicle field when you enter a transaction inside QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). I'll provide more details below and walk you through sending a feature request to our Product Development Team.

 

Since you only have one active vehicle, the system already recognizes it as the Primary vehicle in use inside the company file. Also, the option to remove inactive automobiles from the list when entering a transaction is unavailable. Thus, I recommend sending a suggestion to our Engineers so they can evaluate your suggestion and consider it for future updates. These are the steps:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Self-Employed company.
  2. On the left navigational bar, select the Transactions tab.
  3. Click the Give feedback button.
  4. Choose how you feel about tracking your personal categories and transactions.
  5. Enter a brief description of your request and then click the Send feedback.

 

Moreover, here's an article to guideline you in handling transactions inside the program and ensuring they fit your Schedule C: Schedule C and expense categories in QuickBooks Solopreneur and QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

I'm always ready to assist you with recording transactions or managing vehicles within the program. Feel free to drop a comment below so I can get back to you. Keep safe.

Hi Candice!

 

Tried all that - the issue is that both vehicles show up all the time - and one is actually no longer owned or used.  It's been this way since I replaced that vehicle.

See images.

I'd like to not have to select any vehicle - it should default to the only active vehicle in my account; the inactive vehicle shouldn't show up in any drop-down.

 

Warm Regards,

David
