Business & farm

Thank you, Kris, for replying!

 

The rate I used is the depreciation portion of the standard mileage rate.  Also, the car's business use dropped quite a bit in the past three years.  The car was used for business for a total of 12 years.  The total miles were 70,184.   and the IRS depreciation I calculated is $17,541. (example Year 2020. Rate:  $.27 Business Miles  4,570 = $1.234).  Can you tell me what I may have done wrong here?

 

You are correct.  I multiplied a percentage rate of 37.37% to the trade-in allowance, rather than 37%. 

 

I've entered the figures into Turbo Tax. , which shows I have to report an ordinary income gain of $2,411 and a long term gain of $919 (Total $3,330.)  Does this sound right to you?
