Add a round trip

Let's go to the Miles menu and track your trips in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), @sharoncarr1966.

Currently, there isn't an option to add a round trip in QBSE. When you're automatically tracking your mileage, the system will mark two separate trips. While you'll have to add trips (forth and back) when you're manually tracking your mileage. Let me guide you how.

1. Go to the Miles menu.
2. Select Add trip.
3. Enter the distance in the Add miles field.
4. Edit the Date.
5. Click the Pencil icon to edit the start and end addresses (optional).
6. Add a Trip purpose note.
7. When you're done, select Save. Repeat the steps as needed.

I've attached a screenshot below for your reference.

Also, when you use a vehicle for your self-employed business, you may be able to deduct the business-related expenses. There are two general deduction methods: standard mileage and actual expenses. To learn more about them, I'd recommend checking out this article: About auto car or vehicle deductions. It includes details about how deductions work and tips for tracking your miles, to name a few.

Feature request: A round trip button would be really nice. I know it's a small thing, but every time I have to enter the second leg of a trip it makes me super grumpy. 

Adding a round trip option in QuickBooks Self-Employed is a great idea, TheSecondAbnerG.
