I traded my car in in a different car in July and when I check I don’t own this car anymore and it asks why it doesn’t have trade in as an option ?

It has 3 options, none are true I don’t own the car I didn’t lease and it’s not someone else’s car - what do I check for traded it in?

A trade in is treated as a sale.  So you would select that you owned the car as you did prior to trading it in.  Then you will enter the amount you received for the trade as the sales price.
