To resolve this issue, we need to ensure the system is tracking the correct timeframe.

 

Here's how to check:

 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu.
  2. Select the Annual taxes tab, and check the year dropdown at the top to ensure it matches the year of your trips.

 

Next, verify that the business start date is set to on or before the earliest tracked trip for the year. You can find this information in the Vehicle Info section.

 

Additionally, confirm that all your trips are categorized as Business and not Personal. You can check this in the Mileage section by scrolling down to view your trips.

 

If the issue continues, we can perform troubleshooting steps for your browser to determine if it is causing the problem.

 

 by accessing your account through a private or incognito window. You can open this window using Ctrl + Shift + N for Google Chrome, Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, or Command + Shift + N for Safari. Alternatively, consider switching to a different supported browser to ensure full compatibility and uninterrupted functionality.

I tried everything you suggested, still no change. It was working last week. I manually enter mileage each week. Would switching to Solopreneurs solve the issue?
