Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Wait I'm super confused now.

 

Assume I'm buying a $50,410 car in 2023 for 100% business use and I take bonus depreciation.

 

Is Option 1, Option 2, Option 3 correct for the depreciation deduction? And can we even do safe harbor in 2023 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-19-13.pdf)?

 

Option 1

2023: $20,200

2024: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .32 = $9,667.2

2025: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .1920 = $5,800.32

2026: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .1920 = $5,800.32

2027: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .0576 = $1,740.09

 

Option 2

2023: $20,200 + ($50,410 - $20,200) * .2 = $26,242

2024: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .32 = $9,667.2

2025: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .1920 = $5,800.32

2026: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .1920 = $5,800.32

2027: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .0576 = $1,740.09

 

Option 3

2023: $20,200

2024: ($50,410  - $20,200) * .32 = $9,667.2

2025: ($50,410  - $20,200 - $9,667.2) * .1920 = $3,944.2

2026: ($50,410  - $20,200 - $9,667.2 - $3,944.2) * .1920 = $3,186.9

2027: ($50,410  - $20,200 - $9,667.2 - $3,944.2 - $3,186.9) * .0576 = $772.5
