Quickbooks Online Mileage Tracker

Hello, wanted to ask about the mileage tracker. Has anyone used it? Do you like this feature? Also, does it only work while the app is running or how can I get it to stop tracking at the end of the workday? Is there a rule that lets me put it for specific times in the day like from 7am to 6pm?? Or are there any other apps that are compatible with QB online that works as well? Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to better track mileage, please share them. Thank you.

The mileage tracker feature is essential for users who need to keep track of trips and vehicle information throughout the year and to have all the necessary details for tax deductions, NR2024.

 

I'll share with you the usage of mileage tracking in QuickBooks Online (QBO). The app will start running once you turn on the setup for auto-tracking and creating a trip through your QBO app or mobile phone (IOS or Android).

 

Here's how for IOS:

 

  1. Go to Menu, then tap Mileage.
  2. Tap Auto-tracking.
  3. In the Manage section, tap Vehicles, then Add Vehicles.
  4. Enter the vehicle's name and model.
  5. Click Save.

 

 For Android :

 

  1. Go to Menu, then tap Mileage.
  2. Tap + New, then tap Vehicle.
  3. Tap Manage Vehicles, then tap Add Vehicle.
  4. Note: If you need to update an existing vehicle’s info, tap the vehicle you need to update. Make the changes, then tap Save.
  5. Enter your vehicle’s info.
  6. Tap Save.

 

For more detailed steps, refer to this article: Set up vehicles and mileage tracking with a mobile app.

 

The app will automatically stop tracking once you reach the designated location from your mileage trips. There's no option to add specific time to QBO mileage, only location, business purpose, and vehicle type.

 

 

If you're seeking another compatible mileage app for QBO, you can use a third-party app by visiting our app market or accessing the Apps menu in your QBO account to discover one.

 

Additionally, I'll include this article to help you further track your business miles: Automatically track mileage in QuickBooks Online.
