What if there are trips you make repeatedly? If the mileage is the same, the location is the same, the car is the same, you don't need to enter a new trip every time. Instead, you can enter several similar trips by copying a trip, pasting it into the Vehicle Mileage Tracker, and editing the trip to make any necessary modifications (for example, the date).
In the Trip Type list, select the type of trip.
Quicken displays the corresponding mileage rate to the left of the field, or an empty field where you can enter the appropriate mileage for Other trip types. The trip types listed correspond to the following types of miles, most of them tax-deductible:
Note that you can only edit the mileage rate for trips of type "Other." |
In the Business Name field, enter the business the trip is for.
When you add a business to Quicken, Quicken can use the name you enter here to display your deduction information by business in the Tax Planner, the Profit & Loss page in the Business tab, and the Tax Schedule and Schedule C reports. The business name also tells Quicken whether the business is owned by Self or Spouse in the Tax Planner. |
In the Purpose field, enter the purpose of the trip. (Optional)
Use this field for any information you want to track, such as the vehicle's driver if you're tracking mileage for several drivers. Quicken remembers this purpose; if you want, you can select it in the list when you enter your next trip. |
