In Virginia, if you claim a vehicle as business your personal property taxes go way up--thousands for an expensive vehicle. The tax offset may still be beneficial, but be aware of how localities try to bite back.

So the key is to identify if you’ll have a huge tax bill so you can use that strategy. If not you’ll be coming out of pocket to make those payments?

Be careful with this guy's advice. He's failing to mention that Section 179 is still limited by the higher Section 162 that says expenses need to be ordinary and necessary. Try explaining during an audit that you NEEDED a g wagon for cakes.

I got a few questions my man I have a full time job. Pay traditional taxes. I started doing DoorDash on the side and I’ve been tracking my miles. 1) how can I prove to the IRS about my deliveries if I got audited ? I’ve been just logging the mileage 2) how would it affect my “traditional taxes” from my main job? Thank you in advance. I might buy a Lambo to door dash in 😎
Stopped the video like 1 minute in. So I can't do any of this unless I have a business. Got it.

I believe the vehicle has to be new. I personally know some one with a business and they always get a vehicle new after they can’t get any more tax write offs they get rid of it and get a new one. Check with local state laws because laws are different state to state.
Can you use accelerated depreciation and a mileage rate deduction at the same time in one year?
Great content! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind? 1. What if you have a full-time job, but have an LLC for a side business that has two licensed owners, but one of those owners (me) uses their personal vehicle to make sales calls to try to earn business. Can I track mileage and wear/tear on my personal vehicle while making sales calls? 2. What impact would this have on my personal taxes if doing so, considering I also have a full-time job?

1. You can just track the business related miles as he showed in the video. If you want to track actual expenses you can use the miles method. 2. Yes it will have an impact. Typically in a positive way, but consult with your CPA who knows your personal situation.
