Question

Year End Odometer Reading (Canada)

Hi all,

Hoping for some help - I'm unable to find the place in Quickbooks Self-Employed (web version and app version) to put in the year end odometer reading.  I attempted to follow the directions from another question but that refers to "Miles" page, which I assume is the same as the "Trips" page that I see, but the "Trips" page does not have any indication of where to put the odometer reading in (or anything to do with my vehicle).  I am in Canada, if that makes a difference in terms of versions, etc.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam,

 

QuickBooks Self-Employed's Trips feature is a handy tool for keeping track of your business trip details, such as kilometers driven and vehicle information. I'll go over the options regarding this feature in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

I think I may have come across the article you were mentioning that talks about the "miles" page and vehicle info settings. I see what you're saying about it using different terminology and that the instructions don't quite work. I'll submit it to my team for correction. In the meantime, I'll outline how to find your vehicle information in QuickBooks Self-Employed Canada via browser.

  1. Select Trips from the left menu.
  2. Hover over the green Add Trip button.
  3. Choose View Vehicle Stats.
  4. If you haven't already added a vehicle, you can select Add Vehicle.
  5. If you have already added a vehicle, choose Edit for the vehicle in question.

On that page, you can add details such as the make and model as well as fill in the field Total km driven in [year]. Apart from this area, there isn't anywhere to enter your odometer reading.

 

I encourage you to get in touch with the dedicated support team to ensure you have the information you need to wrapping up your year. Here's how you can get in touch: Contact QuickBooks Self-Employed Support

 

Have a great rest of your day!

    Thank you for the instructions. This perhaps could be made more intuitive?

     

    I followed your instructions but now that we've rolled into 2020, how do I add the Total driven mileage for 2019? The only option i see is for 2020.

    That's a great question, MartyT. I see what you mean about the process being more intuitive. I'd be happy to pass this feedback along to the right team.

     

    I want to make sure you're given the support you need with your year-end information to ensure you're on the right track. To get the best suitable answer for how you've structured your books, I'd recommend reaching out to our designated Self-Employed team here: Contact QuickBooks Self-Employed. I'm confident this team will get this sorted out for you in no time. 

     

    Cheers!
