As a small business owner (Form T2125), you are required to use the <STRONG>Detailed Method</STRONG>. This is why you can’t find a "simplified" checkbox in TurboTax.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <H2><A href="https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/turbotax-support/en-ca/help-article/manage-expenses/self-employed-claim-vehicle-expenses/L1e3ne6G4_CA_en_CA" target="_blank"><STRONG>How do I claim vehicle expenses if I'm self-employed?</STRONG></A></H2> <P>Thank you for choosing TurboTax.</P> Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:29:08 GMT https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/self-employed/discussion/re-i-have-a-small-business-and-want-to-use-cras-simplified-vehicle-rate-expense-but-i-cant-figu/01/3897381#M17802 TurboTaxAniqua 2026-04-15T19:29:08Z
