Get your taxes done using TurboTax
if you took depreciation Turbotax would have the amount. evidently, you used the standard mileage deduction which has a depreciation element each year. to calculate your depreciation you need to multiply your business mileage each year by the rate in effect for each year. the total business depreciation can not exceed the business portion of the cost of the car which you compute by taking its cost and multiplying by the total of the business mileage for each year and dividing by the total of all mileage for all years. this per-mile rate comes from IRS publication 463.
when using the standard mileage method Turbotax, and even professional tax software, does not track depreciation
