The business does not have a car, but i find automobile expenses in QBO. It includes FASTRAK and tires. I think FASTRAK I should put in parking and tolls? What about tires...

This was a trick question -- the answer is, "If the business does not have a car and the owner does not keep a log of business miles in his POV, the FASTRAK tolls are not deductible."  Just because something is paid from a business account does not mean it belongs on Schedule C.

Is the owner claiming standard mileage rate?  Tires are included in that.

Maybe you could ask the owner why the tires are a business expense, then.

Assuming this is for a 1040:

Screen 30 > Vehicle Expenses > Tires

OR

Screen 22 > Automobiles and Other Listed Property > Tires

BUT if the owner doesn't own a car ....  

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
