stop using a vehicle for business

[cathypaul14]

I am now consulting only from home and not visiting any clients, so no miles on my owned personal vehicle under schedule C (owned, available for personal use, so no past depreciation to handle, etc.). So I put in a date (1/3/2022) when I decided I wasn't going to do any vehicle expenses for 2022. However, I keep getting an error when I do a check of my return that says the vehicle miles traveled must be greater than zero! why doesn't that worksheet just disappear or why doesn't it accept zero miles? Can I submit with this error?

thanks

you need to delete the worksheet for the vehicle but must keep track of business usage/depreciation should you ever dispose of it.
