    Keep in mind that if you sell (or trade-in) a vehicle you have been deducting depreciation, then you may have to recapture that depreciation. For example, you bought a vehicle for $30,000, and over the years have depreciated 100% of the cost. Now you trade it in and receive a $10,000 value for the trade-in. That $10,000 will be taxable income, taxed at your ordinary tax rate.

    @@brockallstate The IRS doesn't care how long you own the vehicle. The 5 years refers to how long you can depreciate (in other words, after 5 years the adjusted basis is 0). But whether you own it 1 year or 10 years, if you sell or trade-in for more than the adjusted basis, then the difference is taxable income.

    Great video!! One more note: if you take expenses first year, you can't switch to mileage for another year. You can only use the expense method on that vehicle thereafter. IRS: To use the standard mileage rate for a car you own, you must choose to use it in the first year the car is available for use in your business. Then, in later years, you can choose to use the standard mileage rate or actual expenses.

    I bought a commercial box truck this year and plan to lease it to a business, so it will be 100% business use. If I understand correctly, I can take the depreciation because I'm not using the vehicle for personal use, and the business can take the standard mileage deduction. I own a small percentage in the business.

  • @taxleverage

    @taxleverage

    6 ай бұрын

    If you're leasing your truck to the business, then it will be deductible by the business and then income to you personally. Since you only own a small percentage of the business, you'll probably substantially increase your income by more than the deduction. An alternative option is using it for business use, and getting reimbursed for the mileage from the business under an accountable plan if it's a Corporation (C or S). That would create a deduction on the business and no income to you personally if implemented correctly.

    Great video. I do have a unique scenario. I recently purchased a personal vehicle that is over 6000 pounds. I listed the car on Turo one month after buying it and I made less than $1k between June and December. This car was used 60% for Turo business and 40% personal. I do have a second car for personal use. Towards the end of 2023, I had to do maintenance on it after the last rental due to malfunction of the suspension and it cost over $6k and I also bought new tires and rims for about $2.5K. How can I claim bonus deduction on this vehicle and other 179 expenses even though this car is not in any of my small businesses?

    Please explain what you mean by you cannot use this to put you in a loss at 9:05 in the video. Example: If I have $25,000 total business income, and $5,000 of other expenses, that gives me a net profit of $20,000 without the car. Then, taking the $25,000 car deduction would put me at a $5,000 loss. So does that mean I can't use it? Or can I only use as much as it takes to put the business to zero (so only taking $20,000 deduction for the car)?
