To fix the "vehicle basis must be entered" error in your TurboTax program, go to the vehicle expense section and make sure that the purchase date, original cost, and business/total mileage are entered properly.

If you no longer use the vehicle select that the vehicle was "sold, disposed of, etc." and enter the sale details in the "Sale of Busiiness Property". This error usually occurs when you are using actual expenses or when a vehicle's depreciation is missing or incorrect in the vehicle worksheet.

You can get to your entries for a sale of business property as follows:

Click on the search icon in the upper right of your TurboTax screen
Type "sale of business property" in the search box
Click on the link "Jump to sale of business property"
Follow through your screens and edit any entries that you made
