Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@DianeW777 

I actually got capital loss for the sales of this vehicle.  I assume I don't need any special tax treatment?

Here are the actual numbers ( I assume I followed your instruction correctly).

 

Bought this car in 2011 and sold it in 2013. The original actual price plus taxes: $33,565, and sold this car for $7,600. Business portion:  302 miles/ 1746 miles = 17.3%

 

1. Cost basis: $5,806   ($33,565 * 17.3%)

2. Sales price: $1,314  ($7,600 * 17.3%)

3. Depreciation: $1894 (2015-2023)

 

Loss: $1,314 - $5,806 + $1,894 = -$2,596
