"Miles Must be greater than zero" upon Review

Since you were claiming miles in prior years for business, you will need to delete the car from the self-employment section of the TurboTax if you are no longer using the car or planning to use it in 2023. However, if you are planning to continue to use this vehicle in 2023 you may not want to delete it and show some business miles which will clear your filing error.

 

Follow the steps below to delete the car:

 

1. Log into the software and select the blue button Take me to my return
2. Select Federal from the left sidebar
3. Then select Income & Expenses from the categories along the top of the software
4. Scroll down and select Edit next to Self-Employment 
5. Next select Edit next to the self-employed business
6. Click Continue through the informational summary screens
7. On the Income and Expenses summary screen, scroll down under Expenses and click Edit/Review next to Vehicle
8. You'll come to a summary screen of the vehicles you've entered, click Edit next to the vehicle to report the vehicle is no longer used for business, or select the Trash Can Icon/Delete option to the right of Edit to remove the vehicle without reporting it.
9. On the next screen, at the bottom of the page, you'll see a check box for I stopped using this vehicle in 2017. Check the box and continue through the screens to answer the questions.

@HopeS,

I don't know if I'll use this car in the future for business, but I don't want to close that door yet.

Would it be a solution to shave off 1 or 2 miles from the main vehicle I use and add them to this one?

Thanks, Fred 

You need to change your total miles driven to 0.  Since you're not claiming any mileage deduction this year, TurboTax (or the IRS) doesn't need any information about your mileage.  That will allow you to keep the car information in your return for possible future use.
