How to remove my vehicle from my account?

Hi there, ivterz.

Let me share some insights about your concern. Removing a vehicle that has been added to your account is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

I can see how this option would be beneficial to your business. For now, we'll take this as a product suggestion. 

In the meantime, I would suggest visiting our Online Blog so you'll be updated with the features and enhancements that our developers are currently working on. 

I'm also adding this article that provides vehicle management: About the Miles page and vehicle info settings

Keep me posted if you have any further questions. I'm always around to help.

So how can I add a vehicle then.

If I can't remove a vehicle, then can I add one to my account.

Yes, you can add as many vehicles as you need in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), zbalata01.

I'm here to walk you through the steps in adding a vehicle to your account. It's best to add it before you start tracking your mileage.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Miles menu.
2. Click the Vehicle icon.
3. Select Add vehicle.
4. Enter the make and model, ownership status, and other info.
5. Select Save.

If you'd like to update the information added, select the Vehicle icon and find the vehicle. Then, select Edit. Make your changes and then select Save.

To learn how to manage your vehicles, you may want to consider visiting this article see Assign a primary vehicle's section: Set Up Mileage Tracking and Vehicles in QuickBooks Online.

I've included an article about recording miles for one or more vehicles in QBSE. This helps you calculate deductions at tax time: Track mileage in QuickBooks Online.

Fill me in if you have additional questions and I'd be happy to answer them for you.

Why ON EARTH can't we remove a vehicle.  I have a DUPLICATE entry of the same vehicle for some unknown reason.  This is aggravating!

It makes no sense at all. My husband had a misfortune of being in some car accidents and having to change vehicles multiple times throughout the years and he has probably over 10 vehicles on his account now. Some of them he hasn’t had for probably 5 years now. How difficult is it to add a delete button. 

ridiculous!!! Probably is their way of forcing you to change to their other products. 

Dear product team,

please implement the feature to remove vehicles. there's another thread from 4.5 years ago, asking for this and it STILL hasn't been implemented. it is a real pain especially when QBSE is used in conjunction with Turbotax, where the vehicle info is carried in automatically.

How is it possible that a such a feature is created without the ability to remove the vehicle? What is more frustrating is that the product team keeps sitting on the request for more than 4.5 years...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, @mandu1031. 

At this time, you can only make the vehicle inactive. The option to delete a vehicle will be a great addition to the current features that we have, so I'll take note of it. I also encourage you to leave feedback from within the account.

This is really ridiculous, hard to believe I still pay a monthly fee for this bad program.  I have some mystery vehicle now in my account I can't remove!  Thanks for messing up my taxes, again.

Hi there, @c2computer. I'll help you remove the vehicle from your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account.

In QBSE, you can only make a vehicle inactive. The option to delete them is unavailable. Here's how:

1. In your QBSE account, select the Gear icon.
2. Next, select Vehicle info.
3. Then, click the vehicle you want to remove.
4. From there, select the Vehicle no longer in use button.

Once done, this will show under the Inactive section. If in case you're unable to see the button, might be that this is set to a Primary vehicle. You have to make other vehicles as primary to be able to make that particular vehicle inactive.

Additionally, you can also read this articles for fixes in case you encounter issues with mileage tracking in your mobile device:

• Fix mileage tracking issues in QuickBooks Self-Employed for Android

Update -- Same issue here!!  Why, after 5 years of knowing that it would be helpful to be able to delete a vehicle in QBSE is it still not an option?  

Even with the vehicle marked as 'Inactive', I still have to choose to assign each and every vehicle expense to my active vehicle...such a waste of time!!!!!    QuickBooks, please add the option to DELETE a vehicle from QBSE. Thank you. 

I understand you want to have the option to delete the vehicle in QBSE, GMECx.

There is no option to delete a vehicle, it's really just a lack of understanding what customers want from Intuit. I renamed the vehicles I can't delete to "QBSE Error 1" and so on just there is no confusion when I do my taxes. That's my solution for now.

Allow me to share additional information about making your vehicle inactive in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). 

You can only tag a Vehicle no longer in use if it's a non-primary vehicle. 

In the meantime, it's best to convey your feedback to our product engineers. This will enable them to thoroughly review the program and consider making necessary improvements for future updates.

However, since the Assistant button is unavailable in the browser. I recommend submitting feedback using the QBSE mobile app. Please follow the steps below:

This is completely ridiculous. I can't believe I pay this terrible company to lobby the government to prevent the simplification of the tax code and then the software they provide is so overpriced and woefully inadequate. 

So, four years late from this article, and yet there is no way to delete an old vehicle, WOW!!!
