Thanks for posting in the Community, @j1dias.
I'll be helping you track your expense and revenue by using QuickBooks Desktop's job costing feature.
First, you can set up a Customer:Job for each of your jobs. This enables you to keep track of your income and expenses on a job-by-job basis and can simplify your bookkeeping if you add another job for that customer in the future. Here's how:
- Go to the Customers menu at the top.
- Pick Customer Center on the drop-down (or press Ctrl + J on your keyboard for the shortcut).
- Right-click on your customer's name, then select Add Job.
- Enter the necessary information, then click OK once done.
Second, ensure to assign your expenses to get a complete job cost image. Record the mileage in the Enter Vehicle Mileage window.
- Go to the Company menu and click Enter Vehicle Mileage.
- Click Mileage Rates.
- Select a date from the calendar for the Effective Date and press Tab.
- Enter the IRS rate for that date, then press the Close button.
QuickBooks calculates the appropriate mileage expense based on the dates and rates you enter in the Mileage Rates window. Just keep your mileage rates up-to-date so you can always take advantage of the latest IRS deduction rates for your business vehicles.
Then, add your mileage to the Vehicle list. Here's how:
- In the Enter Vehicle Mileage window, click Vehicle List.
- Click the Vehicle menu and choose New.
- Enter a name for the vehicle and description.
- Tap OK.
Lastly, jump into Step 4 through this article to bill your customers: Track job costs in QuickBooks Desktop. This includes how to access mileage reports.
On the other hand, I encourage consulting an accountant for legal advice to keep your books accurate. They know which accounts to use to record the revenue and expenses correctly.
Feel free to add some comments if you have other concerns about recording transactions in QuickBooks. I'll get back to you right away. Have a nice day and more Uber trips!
