Business & farm

Reading the comment below, leaves me confused.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The basis entry should have been the FMV when put into service of $18,400 times the business use percentage (41.36%), or $7,610.24.

 

You should enter 41.36% of the sale amount as the sales proceeds ($744), so the loss on sale should be $453 (basis of $7,610.24 - deprec $6,413 - sale $744).

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wouldn't basis of $7610.24 - $6414 - $744  = POSITIVE $453. Isn't that a GAIN? The comment says it's a LOSS of $453.

 

My biz basis of car was $7610, and I depreciated .the car by $6414. (I avoided tax on that $6414).

My Biz sale value is $744.

How does that provide me a LOSS of $453? (I sold the car for $1800, with a biz sales value of $744 - where is the LOSS? Please explain this to me)
