Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are correct. 

 

Under the 'sold' option, you will report the same value:

  • on your tax return as your selling price.
  • as the current market value (purchase price) on your spouse's tax return, and
  • as the value of your vehicle on the date you started using it for business on your spouse's tax return.

For instances vehicle 'sold' on tax return 1

 

Sold                       $5,000

Adjusted basis       $4,900

 

Gain                      $100

 

For instances vehicle 'bought' on tax return 2

 

Purchase price       $5,000
