Get your taxes done using TurboTax
What this means is that you have set the depreciation value to high in comparison to what the vehicle is worth.
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, on the Vehicle Expenses Worksheet, Part VII, change the amounts on Line 46 to match what is shown on Line 51 (screenshot).
You will have a large gain on the Sale/Trade-in of your SUV that you claimed a 179 Deduction for in 2018 as a depreciation recapture.
Since you have only used the vehicle for business for about a year, basically the difference between the Sale or Trade-In Amount you received and the 87K you originally claimed will be a Gain to you.
It's never a good idea to claim a 179 Deduction for a Business Vehicle if you don't use it for Business for the full five year depreciation period.
