I use my vehicle for multiple businesses, in QBO self employed can you track vehicle mileage for two separate businesses under the same account?

Let me clarify things about tracking mileage in QuickBooks Self-Employed, @dneran.

 

To track vehicle mileage for two separate businesses, you'll need a second account. This way, you'll be able to manage expenses, miles separately for each company to avoid any confusion moving forward when preparing your Schedule C. 

 

To create or sign up for a second QBSE account means each company you'll create will have its own subscription. You can also read through this article for more insights about the process: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview.

 

Additionally, let me share these articles to help you use the QuickBooks Self-Employed to automatically track your business miles:

I use qb online and need to track miles. The thing is, I need to split them between a few different states for tax purposes. Is there any easy way to do this?

  1. Go to the Mileage or Trips menu​ and select Add Trip.
  2. Add the trip date, starting and ending locations, distance, and purpose.
  3. Set the vehicle you used.
  4. Click Save once you're done.
