Vehicle depreciation recapture
I have a vehicle that I purchased in 2019 and have used for business and personal since the date of purchase. The amount of business use has varied over the life of the vehicle, and I have used the standard milage deduction the entire time. Since I am new to TurboTax this year the depreciation for the prior years the vehicle was in use is not available for TurboTax's to reference. I am using the TurboTax Home and Business 2025 desktop edition.
In 2019 the purchase price of the vehicle was 29,836.96 (business in 2019 was 51.1%)
As mentioned, the business use has varied but the percentage over the life of the vehicle was 38% (however in 2025 the business use was only 1.71%)
I have calculated the Depreciation (using the standard mileage depreciation component) over the life of the vehicle as $12,038.10.
The vehicle was "sold" in 2025 for an $8000 (trade-in credit)
So from everything that I am looking at in the formulas/depreciation recapture is saying the adjusted basis of the vehicle would be (cost - depreciation) $17,798.86
Then the business portion of the adjusted basis should be (adjusted basis x business use percentage) $6,793.41 and the business portion of the sale would be $3,053.60
This seems to indicate that the business portion of the sale minus the adjusted basis of the vehicle would wind up in a loss and there shouldn't be any depreciation re-capture.
However; when I follow the instructions to enter the vehicle information TurboTax is showing almost the entire business portion of the sale as a gain.
What is wrong here and how do I enter the information need to make sure everything is correct?
