I appreciate your time bringing this concern to our attention, Chris_S,

I'm here to help share information on how QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) handles the purchase of a work vehicle.

Currently, QBSE don't actually track vehicle cost but you have the option to enter that information in the Vehicle Info page.

To enter vehicle cost, here's what you'll need to do:

1. Click the Gear icon at the top beside 󠇗󠇗Help icon.
2. Under the Taxes column, select Vehicle info.
3. In the Vehicle info page, enter the vehicle cost in the How much did the vehicle cost? question.
4. Click Save.
