Deductions & credits
Ok, watch very carefully. 1st things 1st
Under business expenses/ Cars, truck and other vehicle expenses. Next screen Vehicle summary. see here
In the 1st vehicle which was your 1st leased vehicle, you'll go through the input and enter all your vehicle expenses for the lease. As you go through the input, you'll want to indicate that it's a leased vehicle like this
On the second line, you'll input all the vehicle expense information as if this was a new vehicle because you bought this leased vehicle.
On the 3rd line, you'll record the purchase of the new vehicle which trade in your old vehicle for. It is in this screenin which you'll record the amount you paid for it as well as the Section 179 depreciation as follows:
Here you'll say I own the vehicle
Hit continue, continue etc. till you get to this screen and select yes, I'd like to see if my actual expenses give me a bigger deduction
Hit continue, continue etc. till you get to this screen, I purchased this vehicle new
Keep going till this screen where you'll indicate that the vehicle was part of a trade in
Hit enter, enter till you get to this screen
And then the next screen
On this screen, you would only put in 70% of the total purchase price and then
Do you want to take the Special Depreciation Allowance
Finally, because you put the new vehicle in service only in October of 2022, your Section 179 depreciation is only taking 25% of that 70%. And "NOT" the whole 70%.
Good Luck!
