Thank you for this. There is inconsistent treatment in this section. On the sales price, it has me enter the business portion of the sale, but for the purchase price, it asks for the total vehicle cost and then automatically applies the 2019 business use percentage to that cost.
So let's say I have a $100,000 vehicle used for 3 years at 25%, 50%, and 75% business use (average 50%), and then sell it for $50,000. I can correctly enter that the business portion of the sales price as $25,000, but then I have to enter the total vehicle purchase price as $100,000 from which it then calculates the business portion. Because the program only knows the 2019 75% business use from the mileage I have entered, it then inaccurately assigns the business portion of the purchase to be $75,000 instead of the correct $50,000. I would be OK with the program not carrying over the previous years' mileage if it would let me enter the correct average percentage, but it doesn't. Early on in the section there is a checkbox to mark that the years have different percentages of use, but it does nothing. Since I can't reduce the business percentage of the purchase price from the 75% to 50%, I have had to alter the purchase price to arrive at the correct amount.
The program needs to allow the user to enter an average business percentage use rather than assuming all years are the same as the final year. Thank you again for your help!
