Question

Recording a vehicle with 100% use

Hi there,

 

New to using QuickBooks and having a lot of fun (not really) recording vehicle mileage. I have a work truck that is 100% used for nothing but work purposes. Do I really need to record each individual trip? Or can I record the KM at the beginning and end of the year to simplify the whole matter as this vehicle will never be used for personal? 


Thank you very much!

Hi there Schleich,

 

Making sure you know which mileage on your vehicle is used for your business is important. QuickBooks Online's Mileage tracking function gives you the option to categorize trips as either personal or business to give you a better idea of the usage of your vehicle. I can provide you some assistance.

 

When it comes to the mileage tracking function in QuickBooks Online, It's there to help you track which rips are personal and which are related to business. If you have a vehicle that is only used for business, it's up to you on how you want to track it. You can put it into the system trip by trip or put the odometer reading from the beginning of 2021, and then the total at the end of the year. You can put in the 2021 beginning balance for your vehicle by navigating to the Mileage tab, then select View vehicles. You can then click Edit vehicle beside the vehicle you want to modify, and then add the odometer reading from the beginning of 2021.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
