One important think I forgot to mention is that the asset has to be used at least 50% for business! Any less than that, no sec. 179 deduction.

How do you define that percentage as business use? I mean, if you're an uber driver, I suppose it's pretty straightforward. However, what if you're a real estate investor and you use that vehicle for 'driving for dollars', meeting prospective clients (whether buyers or sellers of property), hitting up open houses, just whatever...anything having to do with that type of activity. Would it be a mileage recording of all of those trips? Seems like it would be quite tedious and open to fraudulent documentation. Also, does the vehicle have to be first owner, or can a pre-owned vehicle be used to take advantage of section 179 and the bonus deduction? Thanks!

@@ryanshannon7703 I would think a Realtor would easily be able to say over 50% was used for business for the reasons you stated.

50 percent is the threshold for qualifying for 179, but you can only depreciate the fraction of the car that is used for business. If you only used the car 50% for business then you can only depreciate 50 percent of the car's value.

Wondering about removing from inventory and placing into service? Say you sell computers or cars and you had some in inventory from previous year/s , then place it into service in current year? Is that considered "purchased" ? Also, can I sell the business an asset(backhoe) to be used in business and be 179ed ? Thanks

I have a few questions. 1) If I plan to use the car for ride sharing (Uber and/or Lyft), does that count as "for business"? 2) For the at least 50% for business requirement, is that for the lifetime of ownership or does that phase out at some point? (say after X amount of years)

50% for the year of purchase. so if i buy a car in 2020, at least 50% of its use in 2020 must be for “business”. after u receive ur tax deduction for 2020, there is no minimum business usage because the whole point of section 179 is to help businesses deal with deappreciation.

Great video! What if I bought the vehicle last year and didn’t use 179. With the example you used in your video. How much would I be able to write off? Also can I do this for leases and financed vehicles?

Hi, Nquyen. Is it possible to add any depreciation to car that I bought and sold at the same year when I put it into the service? Which way is better to go? one way is to deduct all purchase price with license/taxes taxes plus depreciation or another one just calculatee the difference between purchase- selling price? Please, advice.

Great video 🙏🏾.. how long do you keep the car for to avoid tax recoup .. 7, 8 years?

i can not hear what you said about the depreciation when skipping the first year. also, can you explain about the disposing of the asset like vehicle. thank you

Great video. Would hope to see a little bit more of the math to show how much the car "actually" ends up costing in that year in order to decide if it is a good financial decision to reach for a larger, more expensive car or not.

@@JasonRamosNJ You deduct 100% of the vehicle price from your expenses (as long as the vehicleis over 6,000 lbs). So, for example, if your business made $500,000 and your expenses were $200,000, you pay taxes to the government on $300,000 profit (which is appr. 33% of $300,000 = $100,000), your net profit after taxes would be $200,000 for that year. Now, if we use the same example, but you purchase a vehicle for $100,000, your expenses for that year will be $300,000 instead of $200,000, so you pay taxes on $200,000 instead of $300,000 ($200,000 x 33% = $66,000). So that way you save appr. $34,000 in tax payments. Again, those are just approximate numbers.

Great Video Nguyen. Thanks a lot for taking time out of your day to educate us. I got a question for you, let’s say my business has 50k of income on a calendar year and I want to buy a car for 90k and use 40k of personal assets to pay cash for the vehicle. How this scenario would play out? Would the book Value be 40k or I would still have the book value at 0$?

Could I do Bonus for half the value and then S/L for the remainder of the assets life as well?

Hi Nguyen, can you deduct sections 179 agains ordinary income. If someone has a loss on schedule C. But, they purchase a truck under their business and already has a loss they cannot take it agains their W-2 taxable income correct?

Which section allows you to write off the maintenance for the cars and gas

What about the costs of building an office for a self employed business in the basement of a private home? Can I use the 179 deduction or the bonus depreciation it?

So if I have a Toyota Corolla (weighs under 3k) can I still do the gradual depreciation deduction? (used over 50% for business)

Thank you sir

What would happen if you take section 179 and bonus depreciation and say you wrecked that vehicle in year three. I'm assuming they would recapture some of those savings. Of course you would be purchasing another vehicle. Would the new vehicle under whatever the current 179 rules were cancel out the recapture owed

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. So it I were to buy an electric truck that costs 89k. I would get all that money back when I file my taxes? Sorry if it’s an ignorant question, I don’t know too much about tax code.

Great video. Can you lease purchase a vehicle and still take the sec 179 deduction for the first year?

I bought a Ford Transit 350 Cargo Van and I am getting conflicting information regarding the weight being “gross vehicle weight” and “gross vehicle weight rating” Ford sent me a screenshot showing “gross vehicle weight” of 9500 but it also shows on my door sticker “gvwr” 9500 so I’m just confused how much the car actually weighs so I can write off the full cost rather than partial. Any thoughts ?

Is it only greater than ? Or is is equal to and greater then? I’m talking about a Toyota Highlander hybrid which GVWR is 6000 pounds

Is there something like this business coaching or management training? Like if I were going to hire a coach for a year and we had a contract. Is there guidelines for taking a dedeuction this year in that case?

I’m getting mixed dates saying that the section 179 and bonus depreciation is ending in the end of 2021 or end of 2022. Can you explain which date it is?

If a vehicle is under 6k pounds, but you order it and have some parts replaced at the manufacturer like say, a plastic bumper with a steel bumper, front and back, then it passed the 6k pound mark, would that still qualify? They are regular options offered by the manufacturer but not sure how it works

I see that you mentioned the tax savings for the IRS. Can you touch a little bit about how you would still be liable for state taxes in California on that income of 75,000 in your example of a vehicle purchase.

how does this code work if your company makes no money the first year?

What if I want to buy a truck for my business every year?? Got several employees.. can I use the same method every year?

at the end, you said if we decided to sell the car in the later year, we would be hit with a large tax bill. how can that be when the car is depreciating every year there after?

What if you don’t sell the vehicle post 179/deprecation but trade it in for a newer vehicle in 3-5 years? Is this considered a sale?

Say I buy a $50k qualifying vehicle and take the full 100% deduction in 2021. Then I sell it in 2022 for $40k so the $40k is added to my 2022 income. But then in 2022 I also buy another qualifying vehicle for $40k. Can I use the section 179 again to fully write off that $40k replacement vehicle I purchased and offset the $40k added income from selling the first one?

Can you elect section 179 year one of a vehicle purchased for business use and then in year 2 plus every year thereafter take the mileage deduction as an ordinary business expense? This would be for a Turo type of business

What exactly does it mean when the vehicle is written off? does it get paid for 100%? Or what happens?

HUH, what do you mean by "normal" depreciation?? I purchase it at the end of 2018 Dec and put into use the next year. Does this mean I skip the 179 depreciation?

If I used section 179 this year (for a $25,000 deduction of $43,000 Toyota Tundra short bed,) and sell my business next year, and plan to keep said vehicle after the sale, do I have to pay the section 179 deduction back?

If the vehicle is on the balance sheet of your company and you sell your business then the purchaser will obtain the rights to your vehcile. If you want to maintain the vehicle you'll need to purchase it from your business and transfer ownership to yourself. The business will pay capital gains on the sale of the vehicle to you. Hire a CPA to prepare your taxes so that this calculation will comply with accounting standards
