I am preparing the third year tax return for an S Corp.  A vehicle was placed in service 1/1/23 and 80% Sec 179 expense was taken in 23.  I've entered all the historical data into the asset worksheet.  Unfortunately, TT calculates $0 for current year depreciation and the Asset Life History page show depreciation ending in 2032 with that schedule based on the full purchase price of the vehicle not the adjusted basis after the 179 taken in 2023.

 

I update TT this morning, but this error remains consistent from when I first created the tax return in March.

Section 179?  Or was it 80% Bonus depreciation?  Double check if you took Section 179 or not.

 

If you took Section 179, did you elect OUT of Bonus depreciation?

 

Is the vehicle is under the 6000 pound threshold?

 

Has you always entered it as 100% business use?

 

Was depreciation shown in year 2?
