Last year when May tax accountants did depreciation for a cargo van that a purchased on 2023, she added the cost amount wrong $45,846, while checking the dealer paperwork I noticed the total cash price was 59950 , depreciation deduction for 2023 was 6,549 with the 7 years depreciation scheduled. It should have been 8,564 with the right price.
I need advice-for this year should I put the correct price amount ? and if there is any way to correct 2023 cost amount.

In order to correct the depreciation on your vehicle, you would need to Amend Your Return from 2023. Was there a reason for the $14,000 deduction? I would check with her to be sure that there wasn't prior to making the correction.
Additionally, a van is depreciated over 5 years not 7 years so the deprecation would be higher than the $8,564 if you are using the straight-line method.
7-year property.
Thanks for the advance, There wasn’t a reason, it was a mistake. Now I know there are 2 errors, I don’t know why she didn’t for 7 years.
