Thank you, Amelies Uncle. But I'm being told that I have to use the other method if I have never taken this deduction before.
But that would mean that no matter what I do, I need to take depreciation on the vehicle.
But you're saying that there's a way to take the standard deduction initially? I'm so confused!
I wish I could have spent the time I've used working on this to actually earn money! I've spent so many hours on this deduction. The IRS shouldn't make it so complicated. I drove xxx miles. Why can't that be enough?? (Sorry, venting my frustration).
Thanks for your help!
Janet
