I have a business vehicle that I purchased in 2014. I purchased a second business vehicle in December 2019. When reviewing the depreciation amounts, I noticed my 2014 vehicle is less than 30% depreciated. The software is telling me I'm in year 6 of depreciation and limited the depreciation amount to $1783 (which I think should actually be $1875).
Per the SW, my second vehicle qualified for $18,100 1st year Section 179 depreciation and looks like its on track to fully depreciate in 6 years.
How do I "catch up" the depreciation on my older vehicle?
Thanks
It may be only 30% depreciated because of the Luxury Limitations and/or it was not 100% business use. Prior to 2018, most vehicles took WAY more than 6 years to be fully depreciated.
It could be $1783 rather than $1875 because it is not 100% business use.
DON'T use Section 179 unless you elect OUT of Bonus depreciation. Unless there is a specific reason why you want to use Section 179, using Bonus depreciation is probably better.
