Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@DianeW777 

Would you mind reviewing my question one more time? I just realized I wrongly used the 2023 miles (not the total miles) to calculate the business portion yesterday.

I corrected the numbers:

 

  •  Cost basis (business portion): $2,169
  • Sales (business portion): $491
  • Depreciation (2015-2023): $1,895

 

Gain:  491-2169+1895 = $217

 

1. This time I got the gain for the sales of the vehicle. Would you think it will trigger the  special tax treatment?

 

2. When you said " In a case where a gain could potentially be higher than the depreciation", the gain here you mean 'sales-cost'? or 'sales-cost+depreciation' ?

 

3. Regarding the calculation of deprecation, the rate for 2021 is $0.26/mile , if the BUSINESS miles I drove for 2021 was 100 miles, so the deprecation equivalent for 2021 was 100 * .26 = $26 ? ( I just would like to confirm my calculation was right).

Thanks!
