Question

I am manually tracking mileage. Is there a way to NOT have to type the address in every time for frequent addresses used - like HOME or AIRPORT?

Hi there, @inflectionspace.

 

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll provide details about tracking mileage in QuickBooks. Then, make sure that everything is in a shipshape. 

 

Once you don't want to use the QuickBooks Self-Employed app to track your mileage, you can always have the option to manually perform this. The right to avoid or don't want to re-enter the address every time for frequent addresses used is currently unavailable.

 

However, if you travel for work and plan to write off your trips, you can utilize the QuickBooks Self-Employed app to automatically track your mileage. All you have to do is turn on the app and let QuickBooks take care of the rest. That way, QuickBooks automatically detects and tracks everything from start to finish.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open the QuickBooks Self-Employed mobile app.
  2. Choose the Menu ☰ icon.
  3. Select the Mileage menu. Then, choose and turn on Auto-tracking.
  4. After you turn on Auto-Tracking for the first time, you’ll need to authorize the app to use location services.

 

Then, for further details, you may open this article: Automatically track mileage in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
