We are partnership. The vehicle was owned by one of our partner. The vehicle is 80% for business use. Every time we pump gas, we use business credit card to pay for it. When I am filing 1065's automobile and truck expense column, turbo tax business is asking how much our company reimbursed to that partner, which should be ZERO (because gas was paid by our company card). So should I put ZERO for automobile and truck expense ? Then. I will manually add a "gas & fuel expense" column under other expense and enter the amount there? Please advice.
Yes, if the vehicle is not owned by the business, you would report only the expenses paid by the business to operate this vehicle (ie: no depreciation would apply).
In this instance, you would report these Auto and Truck Expenses under Business Expenses and not under Depreciation of Assets. Although this section implies you can report auto expenses only if the partnership owns or leases the vehicle, this is the appropriate entry point so the expenses appear on Form 1065 Line 20.
