Deductions & credits

@PatriciaV....

I've spent a few more hours going over the variety of TY s/w for Turbo.

 

I know you had mentioned it was showing 0 for the prior year depreciation on my 2023 taxes. But I do see on 2023 the $16,518 exact number from 2022 on 2023 tax forms under the line called AMT / line 39. So when TT transferred in the information automatically, that was the line it used that number on. (It was considered "Special Allowance" column in 2022 when we purchased the car.) 

 

I'm coming to understand how the depreciation amount floats with the % we used it each year.

(Like first year 86% vs 2nd year 76% vs 3rd year 87.9%. so the amount we can write off changes each year based on purchase price vs use.)  

 

The number TT chose for rest of the write off WOULD have been $9985 had we stayed exactly at 86% biz use.  It dropped a bit b/c of the 10% less biz use in 2023, but went back up in 2024. 

 

It still doesn't help me figure out how to get over this 2024 hump of letting us write off more than it should. Is there something I can do to choose AMT for this (if that's how they looked at the special allowance during year 1 of this.) 

 

But does knowing 2023 TT software put our 2022 amount in line 39 help explain any of this? And does that mean anything was still wrong with 2023?
