switching cars during the year

I took my primary vehicle out of service last month and replaced it with another. If I simply edit the vehicle info in QB, does it save my mileage entries for the former vehicle?

Hello, jfraley.

 

I'll share some overview on what would happen if you edit the vehicle information in Self-Employed. 

 

Editing the vehicle information won't delete your mileage entries from the former vehicle. They'll remain in your Self-Employed account for the current tax year, so you can go ahead and edit the vehicle details for the new one. 

 

Just make sure to categorize those unreviewed mileage entries from the former vehicle before editing the vehicle information. 

 

I should also mention that editing the vehicle name and model is retroactive. So, whatever changes you made on the name will affect the existing entries. 

 

Need more details about tracking mileages in Self-Employed? Check out one of these articles for more details: 

 

 

In case you need help paying and filing your estimated taxes on the next tax season, we have an article to help you with the process: Pay federal estimated quarterly taxes in QuickBooks Self-Employed

 

This thread's still open if you have more questions about managing mileages in Self-Employed. Do you have concerns regarding your taxes or entries? Let me know and I'll gladly help you out.
