Join nowMy business is primarily online and my vehicle is only for personal use, so I do not claim my vehicle expenses for my business. But when I try to export my QB info into Turbotax, it won't allow me to do it until I set up vehicle information. Is there a way to bypass vehicle info, or should I still set up the car and just claim zero miles? Thanks.

Hi, RoyalST23,
Currently, you're unable to bypass in setting up the vehicle information in QuickBooks Self Employed. Let me provide you a few information about this.
QuickBooks Self Employed (QBSE) is designed to use a vehicle as part of business purposes. I suggest reaching out to your accountant if you don't want to claim your vehicle expenses for your business.
Here's an article for more information about vehicle deductions: About Auto, Car, or Vehicle Deductions.
For future reference, you can use QBSE to track the actual cost of gas: Schedule C Car And Truck.
Fill me in if you need further assistance. I'll always be right here to help.

I have added my vehicle and my mileage along, but when I try to export to Turbo tax - it is telling me "You can only deduct vehicle expenses and mileage if you own or lease a vehicle. To continue, either add your vehicle info or recategorize your vehicle expenses"
Someone please help before I throw my laptop out the window. I've already recategorized some vehicle expenses. I can't add another vehicle. UGGG!!!
