Hi there, Jim. 

 

In QuickBooks Self-Employed, the pre-listed purposes in the Add Trip section cannot be deleted, as they are default categories provided by the system. These categories are designed for IRS-compliant mileage tracking for tax purposes.

 

If you'd like more information about IRS-compliant mileage deductions, including current and past mileage rates, and when you can deduct vehicle mileage for business, charity, medical, or moving purposes, you can visit the official IRS website for detailed guidelines.
