You may wish to review your entries for this vehicle, as TurboTax calculated 78% business use when I entered the info you listed above.
Enter the mileage as your records show, which should be zero miles for the first half of the year.
Note that you will have a much larger deduction if you take actual expenses (including depreciation) rather than the standard mileage deduction. The only downside is that you have to report actual expenses every year as long as you use the vehicle for your business. But the large deduction this year may be more beneficial to your tax situation.
You may choose to take Section 179 and/or special depreciation for the year you first used the vehicle in your business. In subsequent years, you will have a deduction for regular depreciation only. Most vehicles are depreciated over a total of five years.
