Get your taxes done using TurboTax

the rules say you can use MAGI in the year acquired or in the prior year. if your marital status changes

say from single to married you can use the MAGI and the related filing status limit of the one acquiring the vehicle from the prior year. The prior year MAGI's are not combined. 

Proposed § 1.30D– 4(b)(4) provides that if the taxpayer’s filing status changes (for example, from single to head of household) in this two-year period, the taxpayer satisfies the Modified AGI Limitation if the
taxpayer’s modified AGI does not exceed the threshold amount in either taxable year based on the applicable filing status for that taxable year.
